DRoPsY FOLLOWS A BITE-HarVey Ls'
schen, son of August Leschep. well known
grocer residing near Manchester. Mo-, is the
victim of a very peculiar disease which has
ba ed the medical skill OF that place. Last
summer, while swimming in the Meramec,
the lad was bitten on the lett thigh by some
creature. Nothing was thought of the bite,
as the wound soon healed. leaving small
scar as the only trace. About the 1st OF
September peculiar prickiog sensation was
noticed in the limb ofthe boy, and soon small
red spots began to appear in the vicinity ofthe
wound. These spots soon spread all over the
leg and began to change color. gradually
tuning green. The wound opened again,
and at times milky fluid flowed forth. The
diseased limb gives no pain, only benumb.
ed sensation being experienced by the lad.
DR.. Arnold has frequently during the past
two weeks tapped the member and taken
ont quantities of water. He pronounces the
disease dropsy, but cannot account for the
peculiar spots. Blood freely circulates
through the femoraI artery, but is more IKE
water than the true nutritive fluid. The
limb Is entirely under control Of the lad. ne
being able to walk two or three miles at a
time without feeling tired.
