<h2>THE SICK MAN AND THE DOCTOR</h2>
<br/>
<p>A Sick Man received a visit from his Doctor, who asked him how
he was. "Fairly well, Doctor," said he, "but I find I sweat a great
deal." "Ah," said the Doctor, "that's a good sign." On his next
visit he asked the same question, and his patient replied, "I'm
much as usual, but I've taken to having shivering fits, which leave
me cold all over." "Ah," said the Doctor, "that's a good sign too."
When he came the third time and inquired as before about his
patient's health, the Sick Man said that he felt very feverish. "A
very good sign," said the Doctor; "you are doing very nicely
indeed." Afterwards a friend came to see the invalid, and on asking
him how he did, received this reply: "My dear friend, I'm dying of
good signs."</p>
