Not Too Restful.

“The ‘rest cure,’ ” said the pale faced man wearily, as he stopped to reply to the question of an inquisitive friend, “is not all my fancy painted It. Here is how it worked out In my case: “At 7:30 a. m. the nnrse came to take my temperature, at 8 I had to take a bath and breathing exercise, then came medicine, after which followed breakfast, a visit from the resident physician, massage, a visit from my own doctor, a slight operation to test* the purity or otherwise of my blood, more medicine, dinner, a visit from another patient, letters and tradesmen’s bills, electrical treatment beef tea, more medicine, another visit from the physician, a cold pack and a glass of milk. “That’s how the day passed. At 8 l was thoroughly exhausted and went to sleep, the first real application of the ‘rest cure’ 1 had known since morning. ‘“Best cure,’ Indeed!” And he passed on with a growl.—London Mail.
