obtain a medical text book of rare
diseases - preferably one with il
lustrations, Pick out the most
gruesome picture and study it just
before turning out your light at
night,
There will come a time, of course
when, in spite of your best efforts
the doctor will tell you that your
temperature is normal and that to
morrow you can get \ip and go home.
This is a sad occasion for the as
piring invalid. Countless case
histories have shown that trying to
talk the medical out of his victory
at this point is seldom successful.
The only ♦'hing you can do is smile
wanly and resolve that by tomorrow
you will have a relapse. By stay
ing nwnk'. chanting, "Ifn getting
worse,'* you'll probably be able to
lengthen both your stay in bed and
the doctor’s bill. At least it's
worth tr; ! ng.
