sury Department that owing to the

Lifetime OF Torture Ended.


Twenty-three years and six months Of
painful existence, which was but living
death, was terminated Tuesday by the
death of Charles Reed, NJ. D., at his
residence, No. 792 Lafayette avenue,
Brooklyn. The case was remarkable
one, which has excited the attention
and investigation OF medical men
throughout the country, while Dr
Reeds excruciating sutferings have ex-
cited the sympathy Of all who have seen
him. While practicing his profession
and closely applying himself to study
in September, 1864, DR.. Reed, who was
then about twenty-five years of age, was
attacked with dysentery and sciatica.
The former was subsequently cured, but
the latter malady rendered him help
less, bedridden invalid. In 1872 spinal
meningitis ensued. The muscles became
distorted and spasms occurred at inter
walls, SO that rest could only be OBJ
tanned while attendants held his
limbs. His appetite seemed entirely
destroyed. So infamed were the pa
tents joints and SO sensitive was
the sufferer that a person walking
across the room would produce pain so
intense as to cause him to faint But his
trials were not yet complete. His eyes
became covered with a rash which affect
ed his body, and in April, 1873, during a
thunderstorm Inexperienced an electric
shock and became totally blind. His
mental faculties remained clear to the
last, however. Some improvement was
experienced by the patient upon being
carried TO the country in the summer
of 1880, but there was no change in his
sciatic troubles. His jaws latterly be-
came so firmly locked that difficulty was
experienced in feeding him with liquid
food sufficient to keep him alive. Not
withstanding all this DR.. Reed displayed
extraordinary vitality. his death agonies
having lasted twelve hours. AT the re-
quest of the Doctor his remains will be
taken to Fresh Pond, l.. l., to be Gre
mated. 200.
