Doctor: Well, what’s the matter with you, Mr. Walker?

Patient: You’d better ask me what not the matter with me, doctor, is. I seem to be suffering from all the illnesses imaginable: insomnia, splitting headaches, backache, and pain in the stomach.

D.: Don’t worry, Mr. Walker. Pull yourself together and tell me what troubles you in particular.

P.: I’ve caught a cold, doctor, I’ve got a sore throat, a running nose and I’m constantly sneezing and coughing. To make things still worse, I had an accident the other day, hurt my right shoulder, leg and knee and nearly broke my neck. In fact I feel more dead than alive.

D.: Let me examine you. Your heart, chest and lungs seem to be all right. But it’s quite clear that you’ve run down, and if you don’t take care of yourself, you may have a nervous breakdown and have to go to the hospital.

P.: Well, what should I do, doctor? I feel low and fit for nothing.

D.: I advise you, first of all, to stop worrying. Take a long rest. Keep off alcohol and give up smoking, if possible, at least for a time. Take two table-spoonfuls of this medicine three times a day before meals. It will do you good. If you follow my advice, I can promise you full recovery within two or three months.
