 A man who was a hospital

The author of this essay is a whimsical person. Once the writer was reading a patent liver-pill advertisement. In this advertisement there were given various symptoms of the disease. He felt all these symptoms in  himself. he reaches the conclusion that he is suffering from that particular disease.
 The writer went to the British Library to find out the treatment of his minor ailment. He went to the British Library, took out a book and started reading about that disease. He turned many pages of the book and read about different diseases and their symptoms
. After reading that book he came to know that he was suffering from all the diseases whose names started with 'A'. He trembled with horror. Then he proceeded on and discovered that he had almost symptoms of all the diseases like Typhoid fever, Cholera, Diptheria, Gout and Zymosis.

On asking he said that he did not have any resturaht and co-operative store to provide required things to him.

2. Ten mile walk every morning. 
3. Bed at eleven sharp every night. 
4. And do not stuff your head with things you do not understand. 
 The writer acted upon the doctor's advice and was alright. 
  A little knowledge is always dangerous. The essay is a humorous exaggeration. The writer describes that we should not bother ourselves with things we do not understand. Such type of things create confusion. The last sentence is the outcome of the whole story. It means that we should not think over such things which we cannot
