spiritunIism--The Illinois Strange Story
We published some weeks ago an account of
the death of little girl near Peoria, Illinois, of
hydrophobia, caused by the bite of a cat The
strange part of the occurrence was the alleged
appearance to her of her dead sister and the pre-
scriptiOn by the spirit of the child of medicine
which, when taken, at once arrested the tern
bic spasms. A letter from Mr.. Henry S.WOOd-
ard, father of the girl, appears in the Boston
Traveller, written in answer to inquiries made
of him by ineredulOus friends in Berlin, Mass,
and relating still more marvellous matters
The letter is dated Mount Hawley, Peoria co =.
ILL.,, August 22d. We quote the closing portion,
and readers can judge of the credibility of the
statements-we shall not endorse them. The
father says:
! would not now write merely to crafty idle
curiosity; but consider the circumstances con-
nected with the death of my child of such a
marvellous nature that do not hesitate to give
to the world its truth. In the first place. then
the child had three of the most hOrrid fits that
were ever witnessed, and as she came out ofthe
third one, she exclaimed-"Oh! mother, sister
has come, and will tell me what TO take so that
shall have no more fits-let me get off the bed
and fix the medicine" " She then called for nitric
acid, blood root, sweet oil, winter green, rose
water, camphOr, and slippery elm. She mixed
the medicine herself, in accordance with her
sisters directions, and took it, and, strange to
say, she h1d no more fits. She commenced tax
Ing the medicine about O'Clock in the evening,
and died about ) in the morning. She continued
70 say that her sister was with her up 10 the mo-
ment she died One circumstance which Is con-
nected, is more strange than all the rest. Soon
after taking the first dose Of medicine, she said,
d" Ia, you must pull one of my teeth, for sister
say the tooth Is poison" / asked her TO wait
until morning, but the little innocent looked up
wit Ia tears in her eyes and said, "Oh, Pa, sister
SAYS you are afraid l viii bite yOu-but l wont
bite nor scratch you, but If you will not pull 1t
ut sister saws she viii put something on 1t to |
eat II out" She was then standing upon the |
floor, with some five OF SIX Of the neighbOrs in /
the room; she placed her hand by her side and /
Itp1l u .iiani,->~ for two or three minutes, aud /
one uf her Tee "a dropped upon the floor. She |
xcllimed, e told you sister would eat 1t out.
She, not more than five minutes before she died,
at my lap, put her arms around my neck and
, sse me ; wanted to lay on the bed with heT
1t th r; turned to her and laughed, md died
v ,hO It a struggle or a groan Were TO write
ne hi story of the chids life, it would fill vol
inc, but have given you brief outline of her
atest hours.
Yours with respect,
I
