(bloom holds his high grade hat over his genital organs.)dr madden hypsospadia is also marked. in the interest of coming generations i suggest that the parts affected should be preserved in spirits of wine in the national teratological museum.
dr crotthers i have examined the patient's urine. it is albuminoid. salivation is insufficient, the patellar reflex intermittent.
dr punch costello the fetor judaicus is most perceptible.
dr dixon (reads a bill of health.) professor bloom is a finished example of the new womanly man. his moral nature is simple and lovable. many have found him a dear man, a dear person. he is a rather quaint fellow on the whole, coy though not feeble-minded in the medical sense. he has written a really beautiful letter, a poem in itself, to the court missionary of the reformed priests' protection society which clears up everything. he is practically a total abstainer and i can affirm that he sleeps on a straw litter and eats the most spartan food, cold dried grocer's peas. he wears a hairshirt winter and summer and scourges himself every saturday. he was, i understand, at one time a firstclass misdemeanant in glencree reformatory. another report states that he was a very posthumous child. i appeal for clemency in the name of the most sacred word our vocal organs have ever been called upon to speak. he is about to have a baby.
