Nineteenth street one day about fifteen

abruptly.
"The patient began a pitiful tale of
symptoms.
"'No such thing, said the doctor, who
was famous for the rspidity with which
he made a diagnosis. There's nothing

Don't ride, walk. Go out into your gar
den and pull weeds. You don't need any
medicine, and you won't get it from me.
