Doctor Goldsmith’s medicine
Oliver Goldsmith was a famous author. He was sometimes called Dr. Goldsmith because he had studied
medicine. He gave away so much to the poor that he had little money left for himself. One day, a poor
woman came to his house and asked him if he would come to see her sick husband who was suffering and
not eating any food. When Goldsmith visited the family, he found that they were very poor because the man
had had no work for a long time. He discovered that there was no food in the house. “Come and see me this
evening,” said Goldsmith to the woman, “and I will let you have some medicine for your husband.” When
the woman came that evening, Goldsmith gave her a small box which was quite heavy for its size. “This is
the medicine, " he exclaimed. “See that it is properly used and it will be really good for your husband. But
please do not open the box until you get home.”
