So they take up their "working" quarters at the old stand, that is, Dr. Fakewell's late office. The electrician in charge is glad to decamp, so he pockets whatever cash Mutt and Jeff can spare, shows them the workings of the wonderful machinery with which all the ills that flesh is heir to may be annihilated and "vamooses." The first patient is an old man, who has not walked in twenty years. Jeff plays doctor while Mutt manipulates the electric wires from behind the screen. With a yell, the old chap springs up and discovers that he is cured and dances away, leaving behind a goodly sum of money. The news of this wonderful cure spreads like wildfire, and a poor devil on crutches, who has tried everything in vain, decides to see the new doctors. He finds them still busy counting the "mazuma." Jeff gets busy over the new victim with the aid of a mallet, and, finding the case rather hopeless, takes fifty dollars for the examination and demands two hundred bones for treatment. The patient is willing. In fact he says they can make him an extra charge should they cure him. An extra charge? Why certainly! Mutt is not going to be stingy with so generous a cripple; so he not only gives him the full benefit of the electrical appliances, but uses the emergency lever as an extra charge. A flash, a puff of smoke, and everybody drops to the floor in a writhing heap. Kind-hearted neighbors rush in, and in splints and bandages, doctors and patient are carted away to the hospital.
