His Diagnosis Was Correct.

An amusing instance of unconscious
soliloQuy during a tete-a-tete with a
lady was told Of the famous physician,
DR.. Friend. 1t was In the old convivial
days, and the doctor was summoned
one evening from a rather too festive
board to the bedside Of lady patient.
He felt her pulse "secundem artem,"
but for the life Of him could not count
Its beats. Drunk, by Jover' be solilo-
Quized, and pulled himself together
sufficiently to order some harmless mix
turs. His delight may be imagined
when the next morning. instead Of an
indignant dismissal from further at
tendance, he received from his patient
q confession that he had diagnosed her
complaint quite correctly.
