The Anamosa Eureka Of the 2lst
nys the wife of Mr.. Parker, who recent
" purchased an interest in the Anamosa
Stone Quarry, has been made cognizant
Of the terrible truth that she has within
her stomach iiring make or hzard.-
For the past five years she has suffered
almost everything possible for human
being, and was supposed to be gradually
dying with consumption. Some two
weeks since q German physician from
Lisbon, Linn county, was requested to
make An examination into her case. He
visited her and became at once satisfied
that there was living animal within
her stomach. On last Thursday the
process was begun and con-
tinued for five days, little or no nourish-
ment being taken. During this time
the animal repeatedly moved upward
and into the throat, producing terrible
and almost fatal strangulation. and max
ing 1t necessary to administer salt to
drive 1t downward. At such times the
lower part Of the throat would be pressed
outward in most perceptible and revolt
ing manner. On Monday last the at
tempt was made to dislodge the loath-
some creature by placing pan of heated
milk near the patients mouth and per-
hitting her to innate the steam. A poul-
tice Of onions and garlic was applied to
the stomach, but, through misunder-
standing, the onions were cooked and
their strength thereby mostly destroyed.

the animal moved up only short dis

the mouth. The patient is greatly pros
trated by her abstinence and terrible suf-
fering, but another effort will soon be
made 10 relieve her. We understand
that the patient believes her tormentor
to be snake! The case is attracting
great interest.
