last week, the patient living fOrty-nine days
without taking any food or n0urishment. The
person. woman by the name OF Noper. has

and was, we believe, medium in that faith.
Something over two months ago she conceived
the ioea that she was possessed with an evil
spirit, and that it was necessary 70 stsrve IL to
death. Accordingly, she began to abstain from
food OF any kind. She refused all offers, and
when, after several days had elapsed, and from

bora prepared the most ssyory dishes, hoping tn
tempt her into eating; still sbe utterly refused
all Offers, informing them that she was fed bF q
more appedsing food thsD the one they offered.
She supposed that her strength was miraculous
ly kept up, and in this belief, singular 70 relate
she lived for forty nine DAYS without
food, and was sensible % the d3y Of her death.
