A RECENT letter from Battle Creek
says " Some time ago the papers pub
lished accounts of Mrs. Henry Ingham,
of this city, who has lived without food
for the past fourteen months. not being
able to eat a mouthful, her stomach
having been paralyzed from a nervous
shock, the result of having a large num-
Der OF teeth pulled at once. She has
lived the past year In bed, and life has
been sustained by means of injections
and baths of nutritious liquid food. At
the time of her prostration she weighed
l75 pounds, but her weight is now re-
duced to fifty pounds, and she is mere
living skeleton. Her physicians had
given her up long ago to die, regarding it
merely question of time how long she
would live. She was member of

$500, was raised, and, as the family was
in destitute circumstances from her long

was paid over to relieve their present

may entirely recover from the stroke of
paralysis and regain her usual health
an event which is regarded as almost
miracle. Should she get well she will
be about the only person who ever sue

their life before death, and who has sub
sisted the length of time she has with
out food. 1t Is n most remarkable case,
and one which has bafhed the skill of
the best physicians throughout the
State, many of whom have come here to
see and treat the case, but al without
success, and, alter being given up by the
doctors, nature seems to have exerted
