text_original: Some weeks afterwards I met a friend in the street — a friend who specialises in ear, nose, and throat — and in the course of conversation he said, " By the way, you saw so and so," mentioning the patient's name. " Yes," I said, " is he dead ? " " No," was the reply, " far from it. Soon after your visit he complained of a feeling of stuffiness in the nose, and I was sent for. I could find nothing wrong; but with the view to preparing the patient for a more complete examination I prescribed an alkaline nasal douche.
