DOCTORS CLEVER RUsE.
Has His False Friends Face Each
Other at Dinner He Gives
Them

Initiating Timon of Athens, who
summoned false friends to banquet
so that he might tell them what he
thought of them, a well-known physi-
clan OF Flatbush, L. L., New York
state, invited to a dinner dozen OF
his neighbors whom he suspected OF
having criticised him, and when it was
over he told them some unpleasant
things about themselves.
1t was all because MRS. Grundy''
would talk at the meetings of Flat
bush card club about the doctor, and
it was with a grim sense of humor that
he determined to give the dinner party.
This dinner, which was held one
evening recently at the physicians
home, has set all Flatbush talking.
Some of the doctors guests are among
the most fashionable of the South Mid
wood section.
The doctor had a stenographer and
a recording monograph in an alcOve adj
joining the dining-room, and after the
dinner had been enjoyed and the un-

their congratulations for his hospitality
he arose and make known the reason
for It.
The Doctors charges and the denfals
of his guests, who in many instances
to save themselves accused others at
his table of being responsible for the
stories. were carefully taken down by
the stenographer and recorded by the
photograph, and when, still accusing
one another, the guests arose to go,
the doctor had the monograph repeat
the whole thing over again for their
benefit.
AS his guests were leaving the doc
tor saw them all to the door, and az
one by one they left he told them
that they would receive in the morning
bills for outstanding claims he held
against them and need never call upon
him again for services.

Laymen are frequently struck dumb
with amazement and terror by one pc
culiar feature of this disease. He
is carefully watching case, when, to
bis horror, he notices the heart pulsa-
tons to the right of the sternum. To
the average layman this seems an alb
solute impossibility. In another case
the pulsations may be noticed just as
much out of their natural position,
only to the left.
This is explained as follows: In
the beginning of the disease, or the
first stage, there is merely a hyper
aemia (presence of excessive blood
Of the pleura, with slight emulation.
Then, in the second stage, there Is
increased exudatien, of grayish-yel-
low color. completely covering the
membrane, and giving shaggy ap-
pearance. In the third stage there
is copious emulation of semi
fibrinous, glutinous substance, of an
adhesive nature. This ooagulates, as
the aqueous portion absorbs, filling
the pleural cavity and even distending
it.
If the affection Is of the left side,
this distension forces the heart from
its position, even so far, in some
cases, as before explained, as to force
it to the right of the sternum. II the
affection Is Of the right side the heart
is forced to the left.
By the method of treatment herein
given there are few cases of pleurisy
which cannot be readily overcome.

I did so at once, and the happiest re-

my legs and feet and all signs Of
dropsy disappeared in very short
time. My bowels have been regular,
and from being extremely emaciated

looking over my files of my paper
