There can be no mistake about the amount of suffering which proclaims the presence of, say, a decaying tooth, or the throbbing, burning goading misery of neuralgia; yet they elicit bub scant sympathy for the suflerer ; while the abject wretchedness which characterises the possessor of a bad cold in the head is frequently the cause of very much more fun at the expense of the victim than of sympathy for his sufferinge.
