And they Cured Her Too.

A Birmingham physician has had
an amusing experience. The other
day a somewhat distracted mother
brought her daughter to see him.
The girl was suffering from what is
known among many people as gen
eral lowness. There was nothing
much the matter with her, but she
was pale and listless and did not
care about eating or doing anything.
The doctor, after due consultation,
prescribed for her glass of claret
three times day with her meals.
The mother was somewhat deaf, but
apparently heard all he said and
bore off her daughter, determined to
carry out the prescription to the
very letter.
In ten days time they were back
again, and the girl looked quite
different creature. She was rosy
checked, smiling and the picture Of
health. The doctor congratulated
himself upon the keen insight he
had displayed in his diagnosis of the
case. Il am glad to see that your
daughter is SO much better, he said.
Yes, exclaimed the excited and
grateful mother, thanks to you,
doctorl She has had just what you
ordered. She has eaten carrots
three times day since we were
here and sometimes oftener-and
once or twice uncooked-andn now
look at her!"
The medical man was so overcome
with laughter that for some minutes
he could not explain the mistake
