Mnal IN Her Stomach.

A case which is likely to attract the
profound attention of the medical
minds Of the Stase has been deTeloped
in Burlington, Ala. ...
Mrs, ! J Murphy, the &if6 u a
iapcier died recently aitera SHIRT III
ness OF some disease Of the stomach

unable 10 determine After her death
Dr. Stoves. who had been her attend
ing physician for two weeks prior to
l;ct ,usath obtained tbs htnseut bf the
dead woman's husband to make an au.
topsv. to ascertain the disease from
the effects of which she died. He ac.
cordingly opened the stomach and
found most surprising conditions On
each side there was mass Of tibrouS
matter, and on the right side large
rag was wrapped up in the tibrons ma
tcral, .-......-... ...
DR. Stoves removed the entire stom-
ach from the body and made q close
examination. 1t vas aseertaiiled that
the tibers were of wood. The mass rs
taken from the stomach was then
weighed and tipped the beam at eX-
actly two pounds. Then the question
arose. how dld so much wood get into
the woman's stomach, and how long
had it been there before death cnsued
Mrs. Murphy, two weeks before her
demise, summoned DIR. Stoves and
complained of the Most exert, iating
rain in her stomach. She said size had
been suffering from these pains for
years. and She was at q loss to know
what they were attributable to. She
mentioned incidentally that she had
been great snuft-dipper for many
wears: Dr.. Stevts riade an hxHmina-
ton, hut could discover no symptoms
of disease. and told her so. He adj
mInlstered some medicine. thinking il
would give relief but it did not have
the desired effect.
The woman soon began to get worse,
and about week ago began to sink.

livered, Is calculated to evoke profanity from
