Show A Slight Mistako. A few years ago a certain famous Gorman Gor-man surgeon was also a member of tho Imperial Privy Council, Ho was a pompous pom-pous man, who loved to Impress his patients pa-tients and students with his lmportanco, but ho was onco trapped beautifully. When ho was lecturing to his students ono day a worklngman ontored tho room. Tho Councilor stopped him by a gesture and ordered his class to look at him. "Now, Mr. X." ho said to ono of tho students, stu-dents, "what is tho matter with this man? From hero you should be nblo to mako a corroot diagnosis simply by looking at tho man's face, his bearing, and tho contour con-tour of his head." Mr. X, Mr. T, and Mr. Z having failed to mako ony diagnosis whatsoever, tho professor triumphantly declared? "You ought to sco at tho first glanco that tho man is doaf and dumb." Ho forgot, of course, to mention that ho himself had frequently seen tho patient. To the delight of tho students tho patient suddenly remarked: "No, your excellency. excel-lency. It is my brother who is deaf and dumb. But ho looks very much like me." Chicago Inter Ocean. |
