"They all said it was a common complaint of their patients. One doctor said I notice that a man never forgete that you owe him a dollar 1 also notice that if a man owes me one. it is very apt to escape his attention. How do yen aecount for that said the report er. In tiiis way We are becoming more one sided every day. A well- balanced man ought to remember that he owes and is owed most of us become infatuated with one side of our mental activity and neglect the otber."
