SYMPATHY BETWEEN 4 LIVING
BODY AND A SEVERED ARM

81 NPAIHl BET WIEN 4 lTING
BODY AND A SEVERED ARR.
An exchange chronicles the following
somewhat curious statement regarding
a boy who had an arm severed by a loco
motive: We are Just as ignorant as
hrutes about the relation Of body and
soul. Swedenborg says the soul is a
spiritual organism, corresponding in all
respect ! with the body. We know not
on what other hypothesis one can IN
derstand the case of little Willie Cum
mings Whitehall, who lost an arm by
being run yer by the cars. The ac-
count says that when the lad was taken
home the arm was brought after him.
1t was thrown into a pail, when the
poor little fellow screamed with pain.
The severed limb was then placed in a
box and buried IN the garden. Shortly
after, little Willie complained of a pain
and q queer feeling in the severed ham,
He said that something was crawling
on the inside of his hand. The limb
was exhumed, when a large worm was
discovered in the palm of his hand. A
large jar was then obtained, and it be-
came necessary to crowd the arm in,
when the sufferer fairly went into a par
oxysm of pain. The limb was placed
in a jar partly filed with alcohol, and
then replaced in the ground. The little
fellow complained that his arm and fin
gers were in a terribly cramped posi-
ton, and that the little finger and the
next n were growing together. The
jar was then taken up, when the limb
was found crowded and cramped as de-
scribed.
Come to go over the facts we DO not
see hat the Swedenborgian theory helps
the matter much, and we give it up.
Wonder if our learned surgeons have
any explanation to offer?

neighbor was half a mile distant. The
servant girl was unacquainted with the
road, and finally the eldest girl, leaving
the other children in the houss of death.

storm to the nearest neighbor for aid.
The Rev. John ShreTe recovered, but

polish with soft leather. A solution of

of muriatic acid and alum dissolved in

that are steeped in it for a few seconds.
