THE REAL CURE.

Imagination must always be reckoned
with in medicine sometimes as a
friend, sometimes as a foe. A certain
doctor treated an old woman for ty-
phoid fever. On each visit he took her
temperature by putting q thermometer
under her tongue.
One day, when she was nearly well,
the doctor did not bother 10 take her
temperature. He had hardly got hun
dred yards from the house when her
son called him back.

"As to the stories of i'll treatment
the best refutation of such innuendoes
is the attitude of the children and their
parents. When a child is to be trans

even if it is TO be taken to its own
