New Discase.

\ Members of army medical boards have some curious experiences, I gather, in the course of their work, but it might be supposed that they would have fewer opportunities for making discoveries than their colleagues behind the fighting line, and in the base hospitals. But evidently there are exceptions. “A ffian presented himself for examination the other day,” one medical friend tells me, “and I put the usual question: ‘Well, what’s the matter with you?* ‘Timorbilll.’ ‘What?* He repeated it. ‘I don’t know what, that is,’ I said. So he produced a paper from his own doctor, and on it was written: ‘This man is suffering frofn Timor Belli.’ ” It sounds better, certainly, than “cold feet,” and Is quite as full of meaning!—Westminster (England) Gazette.
