The Ostrich is an upstanding and com manding bird; it has a modern and stream lin ed ph}'sique; its cerebrum however, is lim ited by hereditary osseous confines, and its beauty resides only in the few feathers which It di splays on its posterior.
So it seems, IS t he honored and revered Doctor, the onc who is a power in his com munity, the one who because of ed ucation, experience and knowledge of human natufe is councilor, friend, and physician.
But In the modern dust storm which is ragin g he fl icks his tail feathers, discarding hi s attractive accoutrements, lifts his head from the sand and even though he remembers H ippocraties and Aesc ulapius, he senses a bit of Roger Babson in hi s legs, and off he goes to sccurit}' and respectability.
