A New Disease.

young doctor who is looking for
reputation took a writer into his con-
fdence as follows:
There is a new disease. The people
who have it do not know what it is. and
so far there is no name for IT. I have
had a number of complaints, going to
show that the disease is general, and
from answers TO my queries / am salts
fled that the disease comes from the
same cause. And the cause is the heavy
doors which many stores and Office
buildings have. The doors may not be
heavy within themselves, but the kind
of hinges upon which they swing make
them hard TO open, and man or woman
with a weak spine is liable to injury
from frequent contact with such doors.
1t seems like simple thing, but know
of several people who are really in bad
way from the cause I have stated. 1
told an old NJ. d. about it and he said to
me-, with wink: Give it a big name,
and you'll make it general Before the
winter is over And that is what am
looking fora big name. Chicago
