A Question Of Texts.

"You see," observed Dr.. Slim. as he
banged the patient across the back of
the neck with a club, "you see plainly.
gentlemen, that there is no organic diff
fcnlty. The functions are natural. and
this is a plain case of hysteria."
"I don't know about that" said DIR.
Stout, kicking the woman a fearful lick
under the ar. "She may not manifest
it, but there is certainly sensation there"
eff you notice, chippedin DIR. Green.
dropping a hodful of bricks on the sub
ject's head, "she does not act as though
she were conscious, though that may re-
suit as much from hysteria as from spin
al arrangement"
"This test" remarked DIR. Sapp, as
he started a charcoal fire on thewoman's
stomach, "has been found infalible.
II, under this treatment, she kicks, it is
hysteria. IF she don't kick, we find that
even more potent tests must be ap.
Piled"
"In that case my system is the one to
employ" said DR.. Flat, running a light
ming rod through the patient. Under
this treatment We inevitably arrive at
results"
"Tm not sure but what we will have
to resort to heroic remedies" suggested
DIR. Cruel, emptying a gallon Of vitriol
down the woman's throat. "These mild
tests do not appear to eonduce to con-
clusions."
"Have you noticed any peculiar
symptoms?" asked the faculty in chorus
of the weeping husband.
"Only-one-gentlemen," sobbed the
spouse.
