The doctors are fon 1 of telling pa
tients, asserts the San Francisco Chronicle,,
that any particular symptoms which
they describe are the work of their imagination,
but a recent case has show n
they are liable tc error. A woman who
has just died in Bridgeport, Conn., wanted
the hospital physician two yeirs ago
to recover a set of false teeth which she
declared she had awaJloweJ. An ouora-...

but the doctors told her the teoth had

these only three or four will be of the ^

however, there will boa vast change '

A great aid to the mcmow is vividness
