You say that you went to clever people and sought a remedy. They told you: “It is nothing!” You replied: “If it is nothing, then drive this monster away from me! Can something that has allowed me no peace for six months possibly be nothing?” To this they answered: “Change the air, go out among cheerful company, eat better. It is nothing more than ordinary hypochondria.”
