"Apparently all patients have the knack of trans mitting messages, otherwise the news of serious cases would not travel so quickly and accurately from ward to ward. It Is contrary to the rules for hospital attendants to retail gossip, and most of them do observe strict secrecy, yet notwithstanding that pre caution there is never an interesting case in the building whoso history is not known and dlscussod In tho re motest corner. "Last week u boy Buffering from a peculiar kind of throat trouble was brought Into a first floor ward. Tho doctors were very much Interested In the caso, yet they took special pains never to mention it in tho hearing of another patient. Rut for all the good their caution did they might as well have lectured on tho case In every ward; for when the boy died men and women all about tho hospital said to tho nurses: "'So that poor boy died, did he? I guess there wasn't much hope for him from the start.' "Now, bow did the news travel?" Reply Coupons. Tho man who boastB that ho never writes letters has been prodded into epistolary activity.
