In this article the author shares an experience when his friend went to the sanitarium of a famous specialist. According to the author, his young friend once had a nervous breakdown and went to the sanitarium of a famous specialist. After six or seven weeks the treatment was completed and the author met the convalescent in a restaurant. To him he seemed somewhat tense and fidgety but he insisted that the doctor had worked wonders. He spoke with great vehemence about the doctor. The author says, by this time he was talking so loudly that the author led him from the restaurant and the next day it was arranged that he should go back to the sanitarium for another few weeks.
