      A certain doctor in Buffalo wondered why his practice was decreasing.  He consulted a physician friend who agreed to spend a few days in his office and observe his methods.

      After an hour, his friend had the answer.  “Wilbur, you will have to stop humming ‘Nearer My God to Thee’ when writing out a prescription.”
