I remember a doctor friend, telling me about a man who came to him with a variety of signs:headaches, insomnia and stomach trouble. No __5__ cause could be found.

Then and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his brother asking __8__ and enclosing a cheque as the first stePin restoring their good relation.
