A Family doctor tells the following anecdote in an English magazine. Professor Blank, of E,—devoted a whole week of the session to lecturing to his students on the subject of heart-diseases. He had a private apartment opening off the classroom, to which he was wont to retire after he had finished his discourse, in order to take off his gown, and enjoy a little meditation by the fire. On the afternoon of the second day, a modest knock came at the door. "Enter," said Professor Blank; and, hat in hand, appeared one of his students, looking somewhat worried and pale.
"What can I do for you, Mr. M.?"
"Nothing, I fear," was the reply. "Nothing on earth can aid me. I have the very symptoms that you were today describing. Sound me and see, sir."
