"Won't they all be surprised to see us back again!" Raggedy Andy
whispered as he patted the two little penny dolls with his soft rag
hands.
And the two little penny dolls nestled against Raggedy Andy's soft
cotton stuffed body, and thought how nice it was to have such a happy,
sunny friend.

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.
She also had soft brown eyes which opened and closed when she was tilted
backward or forward.
The medicine which was given the dolls had great curing properties.
It would cure the most stubborn case of croup, measles, whooping cough
or any other ailment the dolls had wished upon them by their little
Mistress.
Some days all the dolls would be put to bed with "measles" but in the
course of half an hour they would have every other ailment in the Doctor
book.
