DOCTORS OF THE OLD WEST
There ain't very many doctors around these parts. Most people have to cure themselves with herbs 'n such. Some folks, like the blacksmiths, will pull a tooth for ya if ya need it really bad. They have them tongs that they use shoe'n the horses. It'll pull a tooth right quick!
If ya happen to git shot, ol' Salty will bring over a bottle of whisky and we'll get that bullet right out for ya. You can bite on a strap of leather or a piece of wood.
My God-given name is Doc. Holliday, but I tend to get in a few gunfights and so these folks started callin me Doctor Scents to keep me out of trouble with the possees that come through here. I graduated from Pennsylvania College of Dentistry in 1882.
I have a few scents around the office here that can really help a body to relax, so take a look at 'em.
THIS IS A SERIES OF 12, PLEASE START AT YESTERDAY'S MEMORIES!

My prescription for you is to take it easy! Too much stress will make you old before your time! Never mind how it makes you treat the dog! Hah! You take any of these remedies and you'll start feelin' chipper in no time.
HERBS & FRUITS
POND FLOWER
TREE OF VIOLETS
MUSKADINE WINE
EVENIN' TIME
Well folks, it made it in finally. We now have:
CAMP FIRE
Take any of these scents, find a creek bank to lay down on and let the fresh scent do ya good!
You are looking much better now! Maybe you should run over and have your picture made before you check into your room at Bessie's. Won't be long 'til supper and Granny will be ringin' her bell!



If'n ya see this feller over at that picture taker's place or the saloon, watch out for him. He was up there in Wyomin' Territory, in 1886 I think it was, just a while back, and the dentist up there pulled a tooth for him. He got mad 'n said it was the wrong tooth and when he got all healed up, he went back up there 'n pulled that ol' dentist's tooth right out with a pair of forceps! His name is Clay Allison. We really do need a lawman here so I hope you leave some stars!
HOME REMEDIES
This here medesin is what I use for the little ones that come here complainin' 'bout their tooth a'hurtin. It puts 'em in a right better mood I tell ya!
This 'un here is good for them that's got that ol whoopin' cough!
This is good for whatever ails ya. If'n ya cain't go in the saloon, you kin git some right here.
This here is tha good stuff! Why, ol' Pope Leo XIII carries a hipflask of it around town with him, 'n I heard tales that he gave a Vatican gold medal to the feller that made it, Angelo Mariani.
This here kind is what ya drank after ya et. Children can have a snoot full.
This here is used fer sore throats 'n such. It'll boost yer spirits up right nicely too.
This here's some down right powerful stuff here. Ya better not partake of too much of it or'n ya might fergit where ya left yer horse.
Mix this up with a dose of sugar 'n you'll fergit all of yer problems
Ya heat this here stuff up with yer kerosene lamp and it'll help ya breathe right nicely.

I bet this new tonic has gotta taste better'n that cod liver oil stuff. Anything would be better'n that stuff!
