I dare say he thinks he's right. I re-
member he had an abscess in his own ear

while other things may last longer. the
most intense pain any one ever endures
is caused by an attack of acute indiges-

He looked at the other medical men for
confirmation of his opinion. One Of them

What did you take for it?" he asked,
