There is now in Louisville. Kentucky,
a truly mysterious and wonderful crea-
ture known as 1.-THE wild man of Ten
nessee," He is in the possession Of DR..
y. G. Broyle, Of Sparta, town in the
last named State. The wild man was
captured BY means of lariat in the
Cumberland Mountains, after q long
chase, on the 18th of September. He is
known to have lived in the mountains
for eighteen years, staying in the water
most of the time and subsisting on fish
and roots. Close inspection shows that
his whole body is covered with layer OF
scales, which drop off at regular periods,
in the spring and fall, like the skin of
rattlesnake. He has heavy growth of
hair on his head and O dark, reddish
beard about six inches long. His eyes
present frightful appearance, being at
least twice the size Of the average. sized
eye. Some Of his toes are formed to-
gether. which give his feet a strange ap-
pearance, and his hight, when standing
| perfectly erect, is about six feet five
inches. A nervous twiohing of his mus
cles shows desire to escape and he is
constantly looking in the direction of
the door through which he entered. His
entire body must be wet at intervals ar 4
should this be neglected be begins i'm
mediately to manifest great uneasiness,
his flesh becomes feverish and his suffer-
ings cannot be alleviated until the water
is applied.
DR.. Tappeiner has proved by expert
ments in Bulbs laboratory, at Monaco,
that consumption is contagious. He
mixed the sputs of consumptives with
water, and made five dogs inhale the
mixture in the form of spray. Two OF
the dogs were also made to swallow a
portion. After lapse of six weaks the
dogs were killed. They presented q
general milinary tuberculosis of the
lungs, liver, and kidneys, and in the two
who had swallowed the matter, of the
digestive apparatus also. Carmine,
which had been mixed with the inhaled
liquor, was found in the pulmonary cells.
1t is suggested that these experiments
are an indication that the air OF badly
ventilated apartments occupied by con.
sumptive patients may become dangerous
to healthy persons.-[The Hospital Ga.
