CURING A DEAD MAN

The late Dr. Emily P. Robbins, of Philadelphia, who was Americas first woman physician, used sometimes to tell an odd story of a hypochondriac and his cure. 4.-1
 At Fort Madison, where first prac- ticed," she said, there was 8 hypo- chondriac of great wealth, whom a good friend of mine, a Dr. Gray, at- tended.
 Some days this hypochondriac would think himself teapot. Again he would be a kettle, or his legs would be turning into glass. He was, alto gether, trying subject for old Dr. Gray to deal with, but one morning the limit was reached, for when the doctor asked him how he felt he said gruffly:
 "'How do feel? Why, I don't feel at all. I'm dead. have been dead for several hours. How can a dead man feel?'
 Dr. Gray determined, for once, to flu- nor him. He said:
 "'Yes, you are dead, sure enough. Come upstairs and be laid out. We'll send for the undertaken to measure you for your coffin
 "The patient consented to this thought with a rather uneasy look, got into bed and stretched himself in stiff, corpselike attitude.
 "They dressed him in grave clothes, they put him in coffin, they placed flowers in the dim room and then they admitted two or three at a time, his best and oldest friends.
 "These friends, having been well coached, gazed at the corpse and shook their heads sadly.
 "'Ah,' one would say, so he is dead at last, eh? We'll, a greater villain never lived
 "'He must have died hard another would murmur. They say the wicked die hard always
 "A third friend exclaimed: He cheat ed me once out of $2,000. I loaned the money to him without security, and he pretended that he had never receiv- ed it.
 'tAt this the hypochondriac sat up in his coffin.
 "sYou lie, George,' he said very bit terly. But Dr. Gray pushed him back, whispering to him to remember he was dead, and he subsided again. But when an old and trusted serv- ant said of him in loud voice..
 "'Well, the old curmudgeon is gone and am glad of it. the hypochondriae could contain himself no longer. He leaped out of the coffin and seized the servant by the throat.
 "'You scoundrel,' he exclaimed, T. but great shout of laughter went up; the patient seemed for the first time to realize his folly; he turned and went out for a walk; and never again did he permit his hypochondria to make foo of him. From the Kansas City Jour- nal.
