Once the author went into the reading room of a British Museum in order to get information about the treatment of hay fever which he fancied he was suffering from. There he took a book and began to read in it about various diseases in an alphabetical order. On reading about the symptoms of various diseases he became afraid that he was suffering from all the diseases mentioned in the book. So the author, who had walked into the reading room a happy man, came out a decrepit wreck.
