Might Have Tried Yellow Fever.

A New York young lady not feeling well caused the family physician to be summoned. After looking at her tongue, feeling her pulse, etc., he said: “I do not wish to alarm you, Missß., but your symptoms are plainly those of scarlet fever. ” “Oh, no!” she exclaimed,-in consternation; “surely not, Doctor!” “Yes,” he said, “you are certainly threatened with scarlet fever.” “What shall I do? what shall I do?” she moaned, in great distress. “Oh, Doctor, couldn’t you throw it into some other kind of fever? Scarlet is so trying to my complexion.”—Philadelphia Call.
