AT ROTORUA SANATORIUM.
Doctor (to invalid) : ‘ The nature of your disease demands that you follow ray directions implicitly.' Invalid : ‘ I will endeavour to do so. ‘ In the first place you must take the sulphur water three or four times a day. After each glass you must walk. Exercise is indispensable in your case.’ ‘ I will do as you say.' ‘You must be moderate in eveiything, particularly in smoking. One cigar after each meal, no more. Call again to morrow and report progress.' Next day the patient reported. He looked like a very sick man. • How are you coming on ?’ ‘ Poorly, doctor.’ ‘ What's the matter ?' ‘ I'm deathly sick.' ‘ That's very strange. ‘ \ ou see I am following your directions and am smoking one cigar after dinner, and as this is the first time I ever smoked I am not feeling well.
