I remember going to the British Museum one day to read up the treatment for some slight ailment. I got down the book and read all I came to read; and then, in an unthinking moment, I idly turned the leaves and began to study diseases, generally. Forgot which was I the first, and before I had glanced half down the list of "premonitory symptoms", I was sure that I had got it.
I sat for a while to frozen frozen with horror; and then in despair T again turned over the pages. Came to typhoid I fever - read the symptoms - discovered that I had typhoid fever- began to get interested in my case, and so started alphabetically.
Cholera I had, with severe complications; and diphtheria I seemed to have been bom with. I looked through the I twenty-six letters, and the only disease I had not got was housemaid's knee.
I sat and thought what an interesting case I must be from a medical point of view. Students would have no need to "walk the hospitals" if they had me. I was a hospital in myself. They do need All would be to walk round me, and, after that, take their diploma.
Then I wondered how long I had to live. I tried to examine myself. I felt my pulse. I could not at first feel any pulse at all. Then, all of a sudden, it seemed to start off. I pulled out my watch and timed it. I made it a hundred and forty-seven to the minute. I tried to feel my heart. I could not feel my heart. It had stopped beating. I patted myself all over my front, from what I call my waist up to my head but I could not feel or hear anything. I tried to look at my tongue. I stuck it out as.far as ever it would go, and I shut one eye and tried to examine it with the other. I could only see I the tip, but I felt more certain than before that I had scarlet fever.
I had walked into the reading-room a happy, healthy man. I crawled out a I miserable wreck.
I went to my medical man. He is an old chum of mine, and feels my pulse, and looks at my tongue, and talks about the weather, all for nothing, when I fancy I'm ill. So I went straight up and saw him, and he said:
"Well, what's the matter with you?"
I said:
"I will not take up your time, dear boy, with telling you what is the matter with me. Life is short and you might pass away before I had finished. But one will tell you what is not the matter with me. Everything else, however, I have got. "And I told him how I came to discover it all, Then he opened me and looked down me, and took hold of my wrist, and then he hit me over the chest when I was not expecting it - a cowardly thing to do, I call it After that, he sat down and wrote out a prescription, and it up and folded it gave me, and I put it in my pocket and went out. I did not open it, I took it to the nearest chemist's, and handed it in. The man read it, and then handed it back. Said he did He not keep it. I said: "You are a chemist?" He said: "1 am a chemist. If I was a co-operative stores and family hotel combined, one might be able to oblige you." I read the prescription. Ran It: "1 lb. beefsteak, with 1 pt. Bitter beer every six hours. 1 ten-mile walk every morning. 1 bed at 11 every night sharp. And do not stuff up your head with things you do not understand . "I followed the directions with the happy result that my life was preserved and is still going on.
