A LONG FAsr.-THc Remarkable Clsc Of d
DHpcarc city LuoLl.-On Sunday evening, at
1870 o'clock, there died, in Delaware City
lady, Miss Bellvillc, who, for thirtysiX
days previous to her death, had taken nc
food whatever. While DR.. Tanner ha,
attracted universal attention to himself by
his selfimposcd fast, it will be seen thai
here ut home has occurred, unnoticcd here
tofore, case in which a lady, a lifc.lon.
invalid, had at the time Of her DEATH fastcc
ten days longer than the Doctor.
Miss Bellville came of family Of culture
and high social position. For a number o
years she had been confirmed invalid, anC
during the past Winter her Illness became
more serious. About the latter part O
January it became impossible for her t.
keep any substantial food, except oysters
upon her stomach, and She could not ca
more than six or eight Of these in twenty
four hours. About June She grew worse
and could not eat even oysters, and for tn
J two following weeks She took nothing bu
E currant water, in small quantities at a time
! Up to Juno Is, she grew gradually worse
. and from that date until the hour of he
= death. on last Sunday evening, it was i'm
possible for her to take any nourshmen
whatever. and for period Of thirty six day
t she tasted absolutely. Beef tea and othc
G simple articles of diet were prepared 70
G her, but She could not take then.
|. The neighbors say, that in order to re
n lieve her pain, injections Of morphia wer
h used, half grain at a time. She retanc
IS possession Of her mental and physicj
It powers in remarkable degree, and onl
during the latter days Of her illness did he
appearance bear evidence of her long an
= enforced fast. 1t is said that, at the tim
i OF her death, she had only lost about te
y pounds of her normal weight, which VIZ
q about $50 pounds Miss Belvile was Dor
u at st. Georges, but has lived for some tin
= in Delaware City. She was unmarried, an
II about fifty two years of age.
a a The case will probably prove Of gre
& interest to physicians and, it is said, TIL
as an extended report Of it will be prepare
# by the attending physician, for a prom
is nent medical journal -nornag Nors.
