BUT THE MAN GOT WELL.

Among the curious ideas Of the popu-
lace" said a physician, there is a
widespread one to the effect that dogs
cure rheumatism.
"Only last month a rheumatic patient
whom 1 had treated for three months
said:
Well. doctor. you have done me no
good and I am going 10 give you up and
try a dog.
'He bought a cocker spaniel and had
i sleep in bed at his feet every night
The warmth of the dog undoubtedly
helped him, for he is quite well now
But what a superstitious fool he was
to believe that dog could cure such q
disease"
