【正文】 refore Mrs. Packletide faced the cameras with a light heart, and her pictures appeared on the newspapers of England and America. As for Loona Bimberton, she refused to look at a newspaper for weeks, and was in a depressed emotion for quite some time. Mrs. Packletide’ s tigerskin was inspected and admired by the neighbors, and Mrs. Packletide went to the Costume Ball in the character of Diana (狩獵女神 ). “ How amused everyone would be if they knew what really happened,” said Miss Mebbin a few days after the ball. “ What do you mean?” asked Mrs. Packletide quickly. “ How you shot the goat and frightened the tiger to death,” said Miss Mebbin, with her unpleasant laugh. “ No one would believe it,” said Mrs. Packletide, her face changing color1 rapidly. “ Loona Bimberton would,” said Miss Mebbin. Mrs. Packletide’ s face settled on greenish white. “ You surely wouldn’ t give me away?” she asked. “ I’ ve seen a weekend cottage near Dorking,” said Miss Mebbin, “ six hundred and eighty.

The making and selling of drugs have a long history and are closely linked, like medical practice itself, with the belief in magic. Only during the last hundred years or so has the development of scientific techniques made it possible for some of the causes of symptoms to be understood, so that more accurate diagnosis has bee possible. The doctor is now able to follow up the correct diagnosis(診斷 )of many illnesses with specific treatment of their causes. In many other illnesses, of which the causes remain unknown, it is still limited, like the unqualified prescriber (出具處方者 ), to the treatment of symptoms. The doctor is trained to decide when to treat symptoms only and when to attack the cause: this is the essential difference between medical prescribing and selfmedication. The advance of technology has brought about much progress in some fields of medicine, including the development of scientific drug therapy (治療法 ). In many countries public health anization is improving and people39。 A Mrs. Packletide intended to shoot a tiger. Not that the desire to kill had suddenly e to her, or that she felt she would leave India safer with one wild beast less. It was because Loona Bimberton had recently taken a plane to the forest and killed a tiger, and the newspapers showed photographs of Loona Bimberton with a tigerskin on. In a world supposed to be moved by hunger and by love, Mrs. Packletide’ s movements were largely governed by dislike of Loona Bimberton. Circumstances proved favorable. Mrs. Packletide had offered a thousand rupees (印度盧比 ) for the opportunity of shooting a tiger without risk or effort, and it happened that an old tiger was frequently ing to a neighboring village at night. He was so old that he couldn’ t kill animals in the wild and just satisfied his appetite to the smaller household animals. The villagers were eager to earn the thousand rupees。 15.
