A Human Hyena.-The True Cure of Con.
sumption Found at Last--Llv1ng
off Sisters Dead BODY,


In the southern part of the town of New
Marlboro, near the Connecticut line, lives a
family by the name of F.. 1t seems this
family are predisposed to consumption.
About the first of last January one of the
family, Emily, girl IS years old, died of
this disease, and was buried at Cornwall
Hollow, Conn. The mother and brother,
Charles, and sister Eliza, remain. Charles
is now fast wasting away with the same dis
ease. During the summer a man by the
name of Case, who lives in town to the
east, was in this section hiring cattle pas
turc. He met this family Of and told
them some awful stories of how persons
nearly dead with consumption had been
cured by the digging up of some relative
who had died of the same diseas taking
out the liver, lungs, heart, &C., where fresh
blood could be found, and burning them
after this the sick ones would improve un-
til health was restored. The reason as
signed was that there was sort of vital
current existing between the living and the
dead, that those organs in the dead body
that contained fresh blood and appeared to
be alive, would continue to live until the vi
tality of the living subject is exhausted, un-
less said organs were taken out and consum-
ed by fire.
Eliza heard and believed these stories, and
if they ever appeared absurd they soon be-
came matters of fact to her. DR., S., of an
adjoining town was importuncd to do the
dissecting-no rest could be obtained until
the thing was accomplished. Strange, the
doctor consented. On the 10th of August
the doctor and a half dozen friends dug up
the body of Emily, cut out the liver and a
portion Of the lungs. took them some dis
lance from the grave and burned them. The
heart and portion of the lungs were found
decayed-that portion of the lungs suppos-
ed to be destroyed before her death-and
fresh blood was found in the liver, enough
to thoroughly besmear the doctors hands
These are facts, and it is said that Charles
health has begun to improve.
