LOOKING FOR RESULTS. “I say, old man, what’s good for my complaint?” asked a sufferer from insomnia. “I haven’t closed my eyes for five nights.” “Go in for boxing,” replied his friend. “The first time I tried it my eyes were closed for a week.” A GERMAN TEST. Sitting in a public house in Germany a customer heard a man at the next table repeat at short intervals the word “Grossglocknergletcherbestedgungscommissionsmitglied” (Member of the great Glockner Glacier Alpine Club).
