Spring, 1946 SUN SPOTS Page 7 "Just as I told you." "Bah! For more than twenty years I have had no trouble And why do I get better and then worse again? You should make a study of your cases!" "Do you think I don't?" snapped Kurtius. "I can give you this case history by heart. Why, look here! Here's something you ought to be able to understand!" He reached toward his black bag, noting that the catch had opened, spilling a stethoscope and a paper or two onto the littered desk. He seized a paper and spread it out before his patient." "What's that?" grunted Levinson. "Graph of your metabolism," replied the doctor. "Make a study of my cases, eh! Here's your chart, month by month for three and a half years." Levinson scanned the irregular black line. Suddenly he narrowed his eyes, leaned closer. A moment more and he burst into a snickering laugh. "What's the matter?" queried Kurtius impatiently. "The chart!" chuckled Levinson. "Hee-hee! it's a graph of our sales I was looking at before you came. Case-record, huh?" Kurtius glanced at the paper, frowned perlexedly, and suddenly gave vent to a shout of laughter. "Ho!" he roared, slapping the desk. "Funny! Oh, Lord!" "What's that funny?" asked his patient. "The graph! The sales-chart!" bellowed the doctor. "Your business doesn't affect you, eh? Look!" He pulled another bit of paper from his bag, and spread it out beside the first. "Here's your metabolism! Look it over!" Peak for peak, valley for valley, the two graphs were identical! finis The preceding story by the late Stanley G. Weinbaum originally appeared in Fantasy Magazine, September, 1936, and is reprinted with the permission of Julius Schewartz.
