A VETERAN ANZAC.
DEFENDS CIVIL ACTION
DUNEDIN; Oct. 24. A sixty-two-year-old Anzac defended a civil action at the Magistrate s Court this week, and the court was informed that lie had been in Tars before many of his mates on Gallipoli were born. His counsel mentioned that lie was one of the keen old la Kruschens who smuggled their iwiy into some expeditionary force with the aid of a “white lie” respecting their ages. This man was suffering as the result, for neurasthenia had him in its grip. . . “ft is neurasthenia you have, is it not?” he was asked by his counsel. “That’s what the doctors call it, replied tin veteran. "I don’t know what it is.” “As far as that goes,” interjected Mr Bartholomew, S.M., “1 don’t think doctors know what it is, either.”
