patch to the National Associated Press
says; President Gonzales convened the
Mexican Congress on the 9th inst. His
message was considered very able effort.
1t began in the following language: Since
the adjournment of the last session Of C0n-
Fess peace has reigned, and progress has
been the watchword Of the day, With re-
spect to our international relations there
exist two causes Of grave moment to our
Government, The one Is the state OF In
security Ealong our northern border,conse-
quent upon the ravages Of the Indians from
the neighboring republic and the frequent
incursions Of cattle thieves The otheris the
question Of boundary line between the
republics Of Guatemala and Mexico.
The complaints and demands OF our
minister at Washington in regard to
the former have generally received re-
plies and everything tends to the belief
that but for the deplorable misfortune
which has betallen the people OF the United
states in the assassination OF their beloved
President, the Government OF that country
would have paid more attention to our ft-
peated representations, and remedied the
evils OF which we are, with so much Justice,
complaining, Our relations with Gaute.
mala on the south, unfortunately, do not
have the favorable outlook Of our border
troubles on the north. Our Government
has shown o ready disposition 10 settle the
vexed question Of boundary between the
two countries. We have been met by pro.
CraStination and general indifference on
the part Of Guatamala TO this most serious
Of questions. The vaguencss and unGeF-
tainty surrounding the settlement Of this
international boundary line can only be
productive Of grave inquiry and possibly
serious results" nj
The President closed his message rs fol-
lows tThe condition OF our country Is
consolingin the highest degree. Peace is
confirmed; interior and foreign commerce
Is increasing. There are more than 1900
Kilometres OF telegraph in operation, The

Scales at Elyhty-A Case that Is Attract.
Ing the Attention Of Physicians

DETROIT, October IA special to the
Post and Tribune gives the following re-
markable history occurring at Battle Greek,
this Suite; Just one year ago this week, a
Mrs. Nellie Ingram, Of this city, who had
been suffering from severe neuralgia in her
teeth, and concluded to have one Of the
molars extracted, and accordingly repair
ed to the office OF Dentist NJ, n, Merritt
for that purpose, She was then enjoying the
best Of health, and weighed one hundred
and eighty pounds, Thetooth was very
troublesome one, and in the jaw firm and
fast, and the pain which she endured from
its extraction was so excruCiating us to ex-
cite her nervous system to such degree
that she experienced shock Of nervous
prostitution which ended in paralysis Of the
stomach, Acarriage was called and she was
conveyed to her home in precarious con-
dition. She suffered for several days with
cramps in her bowels, and when she ut
tempted to eat food it refused to remain
on her stomach, and produced the most
violent pains, so she was obliged to give II
up.
1t soon became evident to her physicians
that she could not be kept alive without
nOurishment, us not q particle Of food had
passed her lips. Injection was therefore
given her, and life has thus been pro-
aonged for year by the process OF absOrp-
tion OF food by the walls OF the intoStincs
and baths OF beef tea, milk and such nu-
tritiOus liquid food are also given her with
occasional baths Of alcohol TO keep the
pores open. She has thus lived for twelve
months, not particle Of food passing her
lips, life being supported entirely in this
why. When she Is hungry bath OF milk,
or beef ten or an injection seems to satisfy
her appetite the same as though she had
eaten in the usual way, hut although this
rather thin diet keeps her alive tdOes not
prove very iattening, rs she has reduced
her weight In this time from one hundred
and eighty to about seventy pounds, or ut
the rate Of over two pounds per week loss.
Her face has quite healthy appearance
and would not strike one rs belonging to q
person whose body was so enaGiated us to
be little less than skin and bones. She is
only able to obtain about two or three
hours sleep nightly and that toward morn
Ing when the vitality OF the body is very
low. With n returning activity Of senses
she begins the retchings with spasmodic
actions OF nature, continuing through the
day and until tho system Is completely
exhausted, and she again falls into the
sleep described The drain OIL her nervous
system has been 80 great that she has now
lost her reason and her voice Is no weak
that she can speak only in low whisper,
and she continually grows worse, 30 that
her death Is daily expected. The case has
been frequently described and accounts
have been widely copied and created no
little interest Letters are being received
by her physicians from all parts Of the
United States.
