the hero dies but once."

Do hurry, Marjorie.

Oh, yes, but these

lovely little fish!

Doesn't it frighten

the fish?

Not at all, madam.

They grow to love it.

The acidity test

for Mr. Kidley, please.

Of course.

What does it do?

Just one moment,

madam, please.

Knoodle, Kneck,

Kipper, Kidley.

Ah. Here we are.

Ah, now I remember

what I want...

Corn plasters.

But the gentleman was...

Oh, but I was

here first.

Excuse, please.

Now, these we recommend.

That will be

two samelkas, please.

Here you are.

And ten samelkas.

Two samelkas.

Thank you.

I've been waiting here

for the analysis for Kipper.

He's been a little bit

off color lately.

Haven't you, Kipper?

Oh, poor little

poochie-woochie.

[Barks]

Why, you nasty

little dog, you!

[Chuckling]

The name was Kipper,

wasn't it?

Ja, Kipper.

Ja, ja, ja, ja.

Uh, Kidley...

Kornbostle,

Kreutzenheimer.

I was certain

that was here

a moment ago.

Knoodle, Kneck,

Kidley, Kornbostle.

I can't understand it.

[Man]

Breathe in, breathe out.

Breathe in, breathe out.

Good. Very good.

Yeah, but Doctor,

I'm worried about

those three white spots.

I am not worried

about them.

You're not?

No. They are the buttons

on your under trousers.

Oh.

[Laughs]

That is all.

Step out.

Here, Maria.

[Knocking]

Mr. Kidley's acidity test.

Here I am, sir.

Ah. Here we are.

I have very much

expect this...

But this is marvelous!

[Kidley]

What is it, Doc?

You've got 162 acidity...

three times normal!

Oh, well that's fine.

That's great.

Or is it?

Is it? My friend,

with your acidity,

you can digest bones.

You mean bones?

But I don't like bones.

You not only can,

but you will...

your bones

and everything else.

You will completely

digest yourself.

W-W...

You-You mean I'm...

I'm gonna pass away?

Pass away?

You will disappear!

Thinner and thinner,

smaller and smaller...

until finally...

pfft!

Pfft?

Now I know what is

the matter with you.

You have got

Acidatus Canis...

the acidity of a dog.

A dog?

It is very, very rare.

Oh, very rare.

Not once in 700 years

does it turn up.

Acidity.

Acid mouth.

Acidity...

Ah! Here we are.

"The last case was

a Greek shepherd boy.

His name was Peropilis."

Well, what happened

to him?

Unfortunately, nobody knows.

"On the last day,

he went out

with his sheep...

Yes?

And they found

only his footprints."

Yeah, well, look, Doc.

I mean, how long

have I got?

Oh, ten, twenty,

maybe thirty days.

D-Days?

Oh!

But why should you care?

In the history of medicine,

you will live forever.

You are the first

human dog.

L-I'm...

[Coughing]

[Barks]

What was that?

Ah. Erno.

[Barking]

Jeepers!

Doc! Doc!
