While Lloyd was making his new comedy, be had visits from many well known physiciana, who gave him valuable advice in the development of his story. One was Dr. Peck, an eminent eye, n^se and throat special ist of Chicago. When Dr. Peck had the story' of “Dr. Jack” outlined to him by Lloyd, be laughed heartily, for it brought to his mind “Dr. Sunshine,” as one of Chicago’s foremost specialists in children’s diseases is known. “Dr. Sunshine" effects his cures just as Lloyd does in “Dr. Jack". Sunahine, a little candy, and wonders are worked by this noted Chicago physician, in his own peculiar way. In his medicine case—or what should be bis medicine case,—he carries jars of jelly, lolly pops, and mo«t every thing but medicine. Lloyd had never heard of this doctor before hia visit from Dr. Peck, who assured him, however, that in hia many years of practice, he had met many physicians who will prob ably be known aa “Dr. Jack," when the new Lloyd comedy is exploited throughout the country. as representatives; Jessie Belshe end Mary Smith of Moro.
