A I.nef Patient.

A foreign scientific periodical rclaics
this suggestive story;
Sometime since lady called upon n
celebrated oculist In order TO consult on
account Of her eyes, complaining that
their power Of vision had Of late consid-
erably diminished. At q glance the doc
tor saw she was q lady Of rank and
wealth. Hc'lcckcd al her eyes, shook
his head, and thought the treatment
would require much time. a. there we're
reasons b. fear amaur Is In her case.-
He must advise. hcs, FIRST Of all, that as
she had informed him she was living n
considerable distance in the country, she
must move into the city at once, and
thus enable him to see her frequently
IL possible daily.
The lady then rented an elegant man
sion, moved into the city, and the ply
stefan was punctual in his attendance.
He prescribed this and that. and thus
days ran into weeks and weeks into
months. The cure, however, was still
coming. The physician tried to console
her.
One day the patient hit upon curious
scheme, and she waited not long 10 carry
II into effect. She procured for herself
a very old and poor attire, put hood Of
tremendous size upon her head, took an
old umbrella and market basket in her
hand, and in these habiliments she wish
ted her physician. selecting for the Pur-
pose a rainy day. She had 50 well sue
coed in distorting and Disgusting herself
that the eye even Of q lover could scarce
ly have recognized her. She was obliged
to wait long time in the ante-room Of
her physician, with many Others, who,
like herself, were seeking relief AT last
her turn came.
"well, my good woman, what have
you to complain Off"
Every bad eyes, doctor she an
swered.
He took her to the light. looked into
her eyes. but failed tn recognize his pa
tent. Struggling his shoulders he said
"Your eyes are well enough
"weIlr
"Yes, know what am saying"
"But have been told that was get
ting the AL forgot how it is called.
"Amaurosis :"
"Yes, that is it, Doctor"
Don't you let them make you believe
any such nonsense. Your eyes are
little weak, but that is all. Your physi-
clan is an ass!
.An-v
"Yes, an ass Tell him boldly that ]
said So"
The lady now arose, and in her custo-
mary voice said "Sir, you are my ply
sician; don't you know me''
The face the sage counsellor made is
easier to imagine than 10 describe.
"Gracious, madam" He commenced
to stammer an apology, but the lady
would not listen to him, and left indig-
nahtly. She never saw the gentleman
any more.
