After "Three Men in a Boat" by Jerome K. Jerome

There were four of us — George, and William Harris, and myself, and Montmorency. We were sitting in my room, smoking, and talking about how bad we were — bad from a medical point of view, I mean, of course,

We were all feeling unwell, and we were quite nervous about it. Harris said he felt such extraordinary fits of giddiness come over him at times, that he hardly knew what he was doing; and then George said that he had fits of giddiness too, and hardly knew what he was doing. As for me, I knew it was my liver that was out of order1, because I had j ust been reading a patent liver-pill advertisement2, in which were detailed the various symptoms by which a man could tell when his liver was out of order. I had them all. I remember going to the British Museum library one day to read up the treatment for some slight ailment — hay fever, I think it was. I took the book and read all about it; and then, in an unthinking moment3, I idly turned the leaves and began to study diseases generally. I forgot which was the first, but before I had glanced half down the list of "premonitory symp­toms"4, I was sure that I had got it. I sat for a while frozen with horror5; and then in despair, I again turned over the pages. I came to typhoid fever — read the symptoms — discovered that I had typhoid fever; turned up St Vitus's Dance6 — found, as I expected, that I had that too — began to get interested in my case, so started alphabetically and learned that I was sickening for it, and that the acute stage would start in about a fortnight. Bright's disease7, I was glad to find, I had only in a modified form and, as for that, I might live for years. Cholera I had, with severe complications; and diphtheria I seemed to have been born with. I looked through the twenty-six letters, and the only malady I had not got was housemaid's knee8.I had every other known malady in the pharmacology. I sat and thought. I thought what an interesting case I must be from a medical point of view. Students would have no need to "walk the hospitals" if they had me. I was a hospital m myself. All they need do would be to walk round me, and, after that, take their diploma.

The Money Shops

In the four and a half months since approval of his plan by the board of direc­tors of First Mercantile American Bank (FMA), Alex Vandervoort had moved swiftly. Methods by which, according to the executive vice-president's plan, FMA could expand business were — a higher savings interest rate, to the top legal limit; more attractive terms for one-to-five year certificates of deposit1; checking facilities for savings depositors as far as banking law allowed; gifts for those who opened new accounts; a massive advertising campaign describing the savings programme and the nine new branches.

Now, in early August, double-page newspaper advertisements2 proclaimed the righteousness of savings in FMA. They also showed locations of eighty bank branches in the state where gifts, coffee, and "friendly financial
