Read the passage!

One day I was sitting in the local library, I started to read a medical encyclopedia that was lying on the table in front of me. The first illness I read about was cholera. As I read the list of symptoms, it occurred to me that perhaps I had cholera my self. I sat for a while, too frightened to move. Then, in a kind of dream , I started to turn the pages of the book again. I came to malaria. Yes, there was no doubt about it I had malaria too. And I certainly had hepatitis .and yellow fever. And so it went on I read through the whole book, and by the end I came to the conclusion that I had every illness. There was only one illness I didn’t have and that was housemaid’s knee. I sat and thought and I became more and more worried. I wondered how long I had to live . I examined myself. I felt my pulse. At first, I couldn’t find it at all. Then suddenly it seemed to start off. I looked at my watch to time it . it was beating 147 times a minute. I tried to feel my heart . I couldn’t feel it. It wasn’t beating. I stuck my tongue out and tried to look at it. I could only see the end of it, but from that I was even more certain than before that I had yellow fever. I went straight to my doctor, who was a good friend of mine.” What’s the matter with you ? “ he asked. ‘ I have every illness in the medical encyclopedia . then he opened my mouth and looked at my tongue , and he felt my pulse, and he listened to my heart. Then he sat down and wrote a prescription. It said :
3 good meals every day
a two mile walk every morning
be in bed at 11 o’clock every night
don’t read medical books.

I followed the doctor’s instruction, and I am happy to say that I now feel quite well again.
