Why She Doesn't Get Well.


From the Philadelphia Press
when anaemic girls, sleepless women
and dyspeptic children are brought to me
1 feel like going out of business" declared
a bluff brusque, well-known physician, in
burst of indignation over a case that he
had just been called to attend. Il have
one patient, girl of eighteen, who might
as well go to a fortune teller for advice. for
all the benefit she will ever get from doc
tor. l give her scolding and draw up a
set of rules for her to live by, prescribing
certain things to eat, certain times to
sleep, certain hoC-s for exercise, give her
a tonic and dismiss her. Do you think that
girl improves? Not she. In a fortnight
she trails into my Office, pallid and mel
anchoiy. 1 haven't the heart to scold her,
but l anticipate her answers to my Ques-
tons. Has she taken the tonic? Oh, yes,
she hasn't missed a dose. Has she eaten
pastry or Holsters or drank ice water or
ice cream soda? Well-er--once or twice.
Has she eaten the oatmeal and raw beef
and drank the hot water and beef tea? Yes
She doesn't add once or twice but her
pale face adds it. And has she gone to bed
early?- Got up early and slept after lunch i?
Well not every day. And yet this girl of
intelligence and apparent common sense
wonders why she doesn't get well. Why
does she think l give her special instruc-
lions? To amuse myself? To have them
disobeyed? l am going to try once more
IT she doesn't obey me, then 1 shall posi-
lively refuse her further" and the doctor
fa1r hysteria case had given him for
Christmas, and looked so good-naturedly
ferocfous that one could not blame the girl
