DOCTOR RAGGEDY ANDY


Raggedy Andy, Raggedy Ann, Uncle Clem and Henny were not given medicine.

Because, you see, they had no mouths.

That is, mouths through which medicine could be poured.

Their mouths were either painted on, or were sewed on with yarn.

Sometimes the medicine spoon would be touched to their faces but none of
the liquid be given them. Except accidentally.

But the French doll had a lovely mouth for taking medicine; it was open
and showed her teeth in a dimpling smile.
