LOVE FOUND OUT.
DISEASE —LIKE DIPHTHERIA.
BLURRED EYES AND PALE FACES,
The truth about love is out at last. The reason why lovers get hollow-eyed and distraught-looking has been discovered.
According to the researches conducted by Dr. Waldemar Sclnveissheimer, of Berlin, love is nothing more than a disease to be compared with measles, or any other infectious complaint. The professor, who has just completed a clinical examination of the tender passion in the safe confines of his laboratory, explains that, as in all infections, the "love disease" has its incubation period between its inception and crisis. This, ho states, is similar to the incubation period in diptheria. Once the "love disease" has broken out, he says, the symptoms are unmistakable. "The eye is blurred, the heart palpitates, the face becomes pale, sleep is irregular and the sufferer loses weight. "Those unhappy in love may pine away like flowers deprived of sunshine, while, on the other hand, those whose love is reciprocated will recover." He does, not hold out any hope, however, that one day love will be cured by inoculations of a curative serum.
