The O?iWm&m&?
A physician ? refient meeting
of the College c^f^ysicians in Phil
adelphia, told ?' story1 ill nitrating
the witty comprehension of a patient
of /Irish nativity. The physician
declared that one of his patients, an
Irishman, could not understand why,
if one of his arms ref used to perform
its usual functions, the other should
remain normal.
"It is the balancing power of I
nature," explained the physician,
"if a ?nan is blind in one eye, na-1
turo, generally provides : additional
strength for the -remaining eye.
When deafness is discovered in one]
ear, the hearing of the other ear be
comes unusually acute."?
"Now thot you mention it, Oi be
lave'tis so," said the patient. "Whin I
a mon has wan short leg," th' other |
leg is generally longer. "-r-Judge.
