A REMARKABLE CASE.

An Illinois Boy who Has Been Fed
Through ouin for over a Year.
/ GAIEEA, Ills, Aug 6-The case OF Thomas
Hull, Jr, the 15-year-old son of Thomas
Hull, of Vinegar Hill, six miles from Galena,
is the most remarkable ever reported among
those persons who are compelled 70 abstain
from food for long periods One year ago in
April the boy was taken i'll with spinal
meningitis BY careful medical treatment
his life was saved, but he was left paralytic
by the disease So complete was the paralysis
that even the tongue was unable TO perform
its functions, every voluntary muscle Of his
body being paralyzed. It was thought at
the time that he could live but a short time
in such a helpless condition, but as the time
wears on he seems to grow but little weaker
aud death is yet apparently far off.
The strangest feature Of the case is that
life should be maintained so long on the food
to which he has been restricted. The muscles
of the tongue and throat being paralyzed it
is impossible for him to swallow, and every
ounce of food he has received in these sixteen
months has been conveyed TO the gullet by
means of a quill In this manner small al
lowanees Of milk, whisky, Cruel and juices
of fruits have been administered TO him

which the water quickly ran until it emptied
into the Pawtuxet river. The river rose
rapidly and caused considerable alarm among
people along its banks, who thought that The
