Summary "Doctor Bolus and His Patients" by Unknown is a children's book written during the early 19th century. This narrative provides a glimpse into the daily life of an old-fashioned physician, Doctor Bolus, as he makes his rounds to treat various patients in his community. The book likely aims to entertain while imparting moral lessons about health, responsibility, and the societal roles of children and adults. The storyline follows Doctor Bolus throughout a single day, where he visits patients from different walks of life, including wealthy individuals and the impoverished. Each vignette showcases not only the ailments of the patients—ranging from minor injuries to severe illnesses—but also the characters' various life situations, such as family pressures, poverty, and moral dilemmas. The doctor provides treatment and advice while reflecting on each patient’s circumstances. Through these visits, the book illustrates themes of kindness, empathy, and the significance of community, alongside cautionary tales about greed and vice, ultimately forming a moral tapestry meant to guide young readers.
