One of our western exchai gcs con-
tanned, short time ago, the details
of Il singular case of paralysis or
something similar. 1T seems that II
young man, by way OF exhibiting
his muscular power, struck hi, fist
througha heavy panneled door, and
from that time forward the hand
has been numb. The account says:
| "In few weeks the hand began
10 wither and the fingers TO shrink
up, and now they present curious
appearance. The hand il wholly
useless, and of dead-looking gray
color. Is if no blood circulated i'm IL,
and has shrunk 10 nearly one half
the size of the other hand. The
nails are black, but still retain their
hold upon the flesh. They have not
grown any since the blow was Civ
en-. Upon cutting the hand IL little
blood will stand i'm the wound, but
it does not bleed like fresh cut.
There is no sign of modification in
| in the hand. The dead feeling
reaches only a few inches up the
arm. Wilder has no power over
the hand and can not close il. The
bones of the fingers seem t. have
Shrunk with the flesh, and to have
softened to substance resembling
gristle. Several surgeons have eX-
amined the hand and declare that
they never saw or heard of case
similar to this"
| We remember circumstance
somewhat analogous to this which
occurred some thirty years ago. A
number Of boys had been annoying
Il neighbor by throwing stones
against his door. He rushed out
and dealt one Of them "A blow on
the arm between the elbow and
wrist. The blow slightly discolor-
ed the skin, but from that night the
arm was useless and assumed the
appearance of dead limb. We
knew the young man for more than
ten years after the occurrence, but
no change ever took place in the
condition of his arm. 1t remained
in size boys arm, and in appear
ance and feeling dead.
