A STRANGE CASE.
by u. ~.
Thomas G. Fitch. \.

A case in the City hospital recalls a re-
| markable occurrence which took place In
this city about two years ago.
In the middle of December, 1889, the rec
ords of the probate caurt show that a Mrs.
Helen c. Fields, a widow, was tried for
insanity in that court, at the instigation
of Harry Windsor, a young man who was
the local agent for a loan company doing
business here, but after trial she was
adjudged of sound mind and discharged.
Windsor and the woman in question
had made business transaction in the
form of loan, and had then dropped all
further connection or acquaintance. The
mortgage fell due and remaining
unpaid, he foreclosed the matter. From
that time, Windsor almost daily received
packages and letters, at first anonymous,
but later signed by the woman. These
letters were teeming with tenderness and
love, and finally it was, in one of the let
tiers, suggested that she was his spirit
wife; that the spirits had been whispering
this to her for long time etc. Mrs.
Fields finally one day told her mother and
friends that she was engaged and would
be married that night. She arrayed her
self in her best and stood out upon the
porch of their residence during that en-
tire afternoon and evening, awaiting for
the arrival of her intended, but he came
not. She repeated this several days until
her mother went to Mr. Windsor and
and inquired into his strange conduct. He
explained what letters he had been re-
ceiving and stated that he insisted
upon having this thing stopped as it was
annoying to HIM The letters stopped
then, for a month or two, when she again
saw spirits and communed with them.
For several nights the woman. dressed in
white, would go the Presbyterian church
and upon her return inform her mother
that the wedding ceremony had been per-
formed and that she was now the spirit
wife OF Windsor
She was then tried as before stated, and
adjuged sane. Windsor soon left the city
thereafter and she then sank out of sight,
until few months ago when she was
taken to the City hospital. where. upon
examination, she was informed OF her con-
dition. She was highly indignant at what
was told to be her condition and went
away. About month ago she was again
taken to the hospital where a child was
born to her. She refused to say anything
about the parentage of the child until yes
terday, when the child died. Sue stated
that some time last summer she had re-
ceived a note from her spirit husband
asking her to come to a hotel IN this
city. She complied, and when shown
to room in the hotel, she said
the spirits told her TO wait there few days
and her husband would surely come, but
when he did they must not speak a word
but must make themselves understood by
signs and manifestations. She remembers
nothing since then, but stoutly affirms
that the child was conceived by the Holy
Ghost and no argument or pleading can
change her from this belief She is still at
the hospital and the case is indeed very
strange one. After reading the above
many Wichita people will no doubt recall
the event and remember the particulars.

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.
Prolonged Nervous Troubles Induced by
Single Dose of Cocaine.

Prolonged Nervous Troubles Induced by
Single Dose of Cocaine.
At meeting of the Paris Academy Of
Medicine NJ. HallOpeau presented a COM
munication IN which he related a case that,
in his opinion, showed that the poisonous
effects of cocaine, even when they came on
acutely after a single dose, might las.
considerable time
A man had about eight milligrams of
hydrochloraCe Of cocaine injected into his
gum as preliminary to the extraction of
a tooth Toxic symptoms at once super
vened. There was intense precordial OPP
preston, with thready pulse, extreme ex
element and loquacity; the patient walked
about the room, hitting out at random with
his fists, and crying out that he was dying.
In ten minutes he became quiet and the
tooth was extracted, after which he was
able to walk home, arriving there, however,
in state Of extreme prostrstion. Then
ensued a train OF nervous symptoms, such
as continual headache, intractable sleep
lessness, bad taste in the mouth, with oC-
casional attacks of excitement, accompanied
By giddiness, faintness and sense OF i'm
pending death. All brain work was i'm
possib BILE; the patient could not do the sim
plest sum in arithmetic, and was in state
Of profound depression. a sense of numb
ness in the hands and forearns was almost
intcessant. Il was two months after the in
lection before the least improvement was
observed, and then progress toward re-
covery was slow.
" Hailopeau THINKS the symptoms indi-
cate a poisonous action Of cocaine on the
nervous centers, and especially the brain.
AS it is impossible to suppose that so small
a quantity of the drug should have r.
NAMED in circulation, be Is driven TO con-
clude either that it was stored up in the
cells OF certain nervous ceuters or that it
produced in them persistent LESSONS.
