That Sinking Feeling.

A Detroit doctor is laying for a boy about 16 years old. who came into his office one day last week, and after getting the doctor's advice, disappeared and has not since been seen, at 1 least by him. “Doctor,” said the boy, “I have a sinking feelingall over, a great many .times a day.” “Ever at night’” asked the doctor. “Hardly ever.” “Let me see your tongue.” The buy showed his tongue; the doctor felt his pulse, sounded nis chest, worked a stethoscope on him, listened at his heartbeats, and then told him what was the matter with him and what to take for it. “Maybe my business has got something to do with it. doctor,” suggested the boy, as the physician stepped into the adjoining room to get a phial. . “Hardly that, I think, ’’ cheerily sung out the physician from the other room. “What is your business?” “I run an elevator,” responded the lad, and before the doctor could get to him he had disappeared, as above stated.
