Mrs. Tcmpest explained her symptoms
with quite unusual plainness. having made
notes beforehand that she might forget
nothing. and Dr. Furness accompanied
her recital with q series OF little Sympa-
thet-c hunmlug murmurs which strongly
resembled the cooling Of g. rather hoarse
dove. From time to time Isabel glanced

Isabel displayed her tongue. As she eX-.

"N-n-no."
"And free from pain in the knees?''

( Il have no appetite at all, I detest the

The doctor sat minute cooling softly
with sealed eyelids, and then suddenly
opening them very wide. he said loudly,
all in one breath without any stops:

from AmoreNia, which means absence of
appetite; or Aposita, which is a disgust for
food or Asitia. which IS loathing of the
same; or FastidiUm Cidi, distaste for
food; or Ase, or lredia. or in fact any

alarming; besides the speech evidently ex-

Isabel displayed her tongue again, and

not know. for she was not at all equal to
staring a man in the face while she
showed him her tongue for the third time
in ten minutes.
And what have YOU been taking?" DIR.
Furness asked, after humming over the
outstretched tongue for few seconds.
