when she seemed even more enact.
ated, but now she ''would give the
world to be plump" Sitting down in
front Of me, she began with:
Don't yon think, doctor, that /

admitted that she looked rather
old for 90.
''Can anything be done for me?
What can ! take for it: ] should be
willing tn take a hundred bottles of
the worst stuff in the world, II |
could only get some flesh on these
bones. \ friend Of mine Cher beau
was saying yesterday that he would
give fortune to see me round and
plump"
Would you be willing To go to the
CliE Spring in Arkansas?
~ would start Tomorrow
''Rut the waters are very bad to
drink" | said.
Il don, care how bad they are; l
know | can drink them"
Il asked you whether you were
willing to go to the Arkansas Springs
to test the strength of your purpose.
1t is not necessary to leave your
home. Nine thin people in ten can
become reasonably fat withsut such a
sacrifice"
'Why, doctor. am delighted to
hear it, but | suppose it is "A lot OF
some awful bitter stuff"
YES, it is pretty bitter dose and
has to be taken every night"
IL don't care; | would take it if it
was ten times as bad. What is il?
What is the name of it,"
"'The technical name of the stuff
is 'Bedibus Nine-o'clockibus.'" ;"
"Why, doctor, that is an awful
name. am sure l shall never be able
| to speak it. Is there no common Eng.
lish word to it,"
I so yes. The English OF it is, you
must be In bed every night at 8
o'clock We doctors generally use
Latin. 'Bedibus Nine-o'clockibu>' is
the Latin for You must be in bed
every night by 8 O'clock. >"
oh, that is dreadful. thought ii
| was something could take"
I at Is. You must take your bed
every night before the clock strikes o. .
NO: but what l thought was that
you would give Inc something IN a
| bottle to take"
"Of course, | know very well what
| you thought. That's the way with YOU,
all Of you. One person eats enormously
of rich food till his stomach and liver
| refuse to bulge: then he cries out, ..
doctor, what can takey | must take
| something. Another ILLS his system
with tobacco until his nerves are
ruined: and then. trembling
land full of horrors. ne cxeiainis.
| @. doctor, what shah ! Eake:'
write prescription for him--Quitjbu,
Chawibus ct SmokibuS.'
l will suppose my patient is not a
classical scholar as | am sure m,
reader is. and so l translate it foi
him into English. He cries out at
once. %. doctor, l thought you
would give me something to take"
Another sits up till IL or a O'Clock.

pations, becomes pale, dyspeptic, and
then flies to the doctor aud cries out.
20, doctor, what shall l take? what
shall l take9"
Now. madam, you are distressed
| beause your lover has been looking at
your skin and bones.'"
| "Rut, doctor, you are entirely
! 20. well. Well say nothing about
him, then. But tell me what time
I, do you go TO bed:'
"As a general rule, about IL
o'clock" 7"
''Yes, l thought so. Now. il you
will 90 TO bed every night for six
months at = o'clock. without making
|any other change in your habits. you
Twill gain ten pounds in weight and
look five years younger. Your skin
Twin become fresh, and your spirits
Improve wonderfully"
.I'll do it. Though. of course,
when l have company, or during the
opera, l can't do it.
1T is regularity that does the busl.
ness. TO sit up till ~ O'Clock three
nights OF the week. and then get to bed
at 9 o'clock four nights. one might
/ think would do very well, and that
at any rate so far so good | don't
think this every other night early,
and every other night late, is much
better than every night late. II is
regularity that is vital In the ease.
IEyen sitting up one night week de.
FRANCES the nervous system for a whole
lweek. l have sometimes thought
THAT those people who sit up to II OF
II o'clock every night get on quite as
well rs those who turn in early SIX
nights, and then sit up once a week
till midnight. Regularity.in sleep is
every whit as important as regularit,
in food. At length my patient ex.
claimed, "Doctor, will go to bed
every night for six months before 6
o'clock IL 1t kills me, or rather II II
breaks the hearts OF all my friends.
She did it. Twenty-one pounds
was the gain in five months. Hel
spirits were happily enliyened, and
she spent half her time in telling hel
friends Of her delight with her new
habits. She had no further cause te
complain OF skin and bones, and she
had the special qualification OF ap
pearing more attractive In the eyes o1
her lover Dio Lewis.
