After a short session of heliotherapy I was afraid I might get put in quarantine but I
managed to climb without mishap into an ambulance full of stretcher cases. Amongst
them I diagnosed a dyspeptic who was suffering from chronic gigantism with tracheal
elongation and who was wearing a hat whose ribbon was deformed by rheumatism.
This cretin suddenly worked himself up into a hysterical fit because a cacochymic
was pounding his gomphous tylosis; then, having discharged his bile, he isolated
himself to nurse his convulsions. I saw him again later, he was standing outside a Lazaretto looking haggard and engaged in a consultation with a quack about a furuncle which was disfiguring his pectorals.
