Diagnosis

(left) Professor: This is also a remarkable case of influenza. In the morning he ate dumplings with smoked meat, and in the evening he was already so weak that he broke money orders.

Patient: Salipyrin, I’ve already taken that, but it was no use to me.
Physician: Then I’ll give you something else that is just as effective.
