TextD
I went to my medical man. He is my old friend. He feels my pulse, and looks at my tongue, and talks about the weather, when I consider that I am ill. I thought I Would do him a good turn by going to him now. “What a doctor wants,” I said, “is practice. He shall have me. He will get more practice out of me than out of seventeen hundred patients with only one or two diseases each.” So I went to him and saw him, and he said, “Well, what’s the matter with you?” I said, “I will not take up your time, dear boy, with telling you what is the matter with me. But I will tell you what is not the matter with me. I have not got housemaid’s knee.¹ Why I have not got housemaid’s knee, I cannot tell you; but the fact is that I have not got it. Everything else, however, I have got.”
And I told him how I came to discover it all.
Then he opened me and looked down me² and clutched hold of my wrist³ and then he hit me over the chest when I wasn’t expecting it, and immediately afterwards butted me with the side of his head. After that, he sat down and wrote out a prescription and gave it to me, and I put it in my pocket and went out.
I did not open the prescription. I took it to the nearest chemist’s and handed it in. The man read it, and then handed it back.
He said he did not keep it.
I said, “You are a chemist?”
He said, “I am a chemist. If I was a co-operative store and family hotel combined, I might be able to give you such a remedy.”
Then I read the prescription. It ran:
“ 1 lb beefsteak with 1 pint bitter beer every six hours 1 ten-mile walk every morning 1 bed at 11 sharp every night.
And don’t stuff up your head with things you don’t understand.”

   followed the directions with the happy result — speaking for myself — that my life was preserved and is still going on.
