  After 
  the 
  first 
  

   reading 
  showing 
  an 
  unusually 
  

   high 
  C0 
  2 
  value, 
  I 
  made 
  him 
  rest 
  

   in 
  my 
  office 
  for 
  6 
  mins., 
  and 
  took 
  

   a 
  second 
  reading 
  which 
  was 
  

   practically 
  the 
  same. 
  I 
  asked 
  

   him 
  if 
  he 
  had 
  had 
  a 
  good 
  night, 
  

   and 
  he 
  replied 
  that 
  he 
  had 
  

   been 
  worried 
  about 
  the 
  possible 
  

   result 
  of 
  a 
  medical 
  examination, 
  

   because 
  he 
  had 
  been 
  classified 
  as 
  

   B.

  in
