died in this city On Saturday, after hav.
ing been unable to retain solid food of
any description on her stomach for the
past three years. Three years ago the
woman was an operative in the thread
mill at P%awtucket, r. l., and lost a
finger, from which her nervous system
received a shock. Soon after she could
not retain any solid food on her stomach.

Immediately vomit. During the last two
years her only n%ourishment was beef tea
injected into the rectum. Three months
prlor to her death she was unable to
partake Of even water, and death from
thirst itself wss prevented by keeping
the mouth moist with a sponge. An
autopsy showed that the lady died
OF starvation su~perinduced by chronic
Inflammation Of the stomach. The
mucus membrane in which the gastric
juice IS secreted was completely obliter.

decomposed. Ia the stomach were dis.

so intense that it had extended up into
the mouth, causing intense pain, and
