New York Letter


Chap Ill. Has rheumatism goes to Ems.
Chap. ". Has row with his Doctor.
l have read deal of sarcasm in my
day but l never read anything equal to
the sarcasm contained in the above four
chaptered book written by some anony-

as mucn on page 81. Let me give you a
synopsis:
Malaria" as it states, sis the cloak
with which superficial physicians cover
up multitude of i'll feelings which they
do not understand, and do not much care
to Investigate. It is also cover for such
diseases as they cannot cure. When they
advise their patient to travel or that he
has overworked and needs rest and is
probably suffering from malaria, it is a
confession of ignorance or of inability"
"The patient goes abroad. The change
is tonic and for time he feels better.
Comes home. Tickle appetite, frequent

fevers; everything about him seems to go
wrong; becomes suspicious; musters up
courage and demands TO know what is

keep you ignorant of the facts"
He dismisses his doctor, but too late!
His fortune has all gone in fees.
But MIN, what becomes of him?

who is a son of Danish Vice-Consul

I happen to know what it was that
cured the boy, for Genl. Christiansen, of
Dre1el, Morgan & Co.'s told me that it
