HIS WORRIED WIFE.

Whet CeuMd He to Think Hubby Ought to Bo Examined. «*WV OCTOR,” said Mrs. Spriggs- § J worth, “I wish you would come and see my husband as. soon as you can do so conveniently. I’ve been urging him to call on you at your office, but I Just .can’t get Mm started. Pm awfully worried about him.” “I will try to stop and see him this afternoon. Is be in bed?” “Ob, no! No, he’s not in bed, and perhaps you had’better come in the evening or early in the morning, because you won’t find him at home in the afternoon.” “Very well. I’ll come tonight What seems to be the trouble? Has be caught a bad cold?” “No; he hasn't any more of a cold than it to common for most people to have at this time of the year. I really don’t know what is the matter with him. I think yon ought to give him a thorough examination.” \ “Pm sorry to hear that his health is not good. I thought when I saw him a few days ago that he was looking remarkably well. When did yon begin to notice that he was not feeling right?"

“Why. be claims that there is nothing the matter with him, but of course there must be." “Does he appear to be bothered by indigestion?" “No. He has always been very free from anything of that kind.. You see. he manages to get a good deal of outdoor exercise.” “That’s good. A man who takes plenty of outdoor exercise really ought to have little use for a doctor. Perhaps the trouble is with Ms eyes. Does he complain much of having headaches ?” “No. He never has them at all.” “Well, does he seem to be run down physically?” “Not noticeably so." “Is he unusually nervous or irritable r “Ob, no; not at all. Really, do yon know. I sometimes believe he can’t have a nerve In his body. He to always so placid. Nothing ever seems to disturb Mm In the least.” “A very carious case, indeed. What has caused you to think I ought to examine him?" “Why, he hasn’t been in bed a day or taken a drop of'medlcine for about fifteen years, and I can’t get it out of my bead that he ought to see a doctor before he gets down sick. It may be that an operation of some kind now would save him an awfully hard time later on.’’—Chicago Record-Herald.
