AN IMAGINATIVE PATIENT.
Successful Treatment of a Peculiar Cas-
at the County Hospital.

Successful Treatment of q Peculiar Case
at the County Hospital.
One of the most peculiar cases OF magma
tion that ever came to the notice of the
physicians at the City and County Hospital
was brought in last week.
The patient gave the name of John
Gailaska, and stated that he was a cigar
maker by trade. Gailaska has been in the
hospital on three different occasions, and
was discharged as cured, but he imagined
that he had tumor in the stomach and re-
fused to be convinced TO the contrary.
One of the physicians finally hit upon the
idea that Gailsaka was a monomaniac on
the subject and cured him In a peculiar
manner A slight incision OF the skin W 5
made which was subsequently sewed ur.
The subject had been put under the infig-
ence OF an anaesthetic. and when he recoy-
cred his senses was told he was cured and
that the tumor had been removed from his
stomach by the physicians. He left the
hospital perfectly convinced that bona
fide operation had been performed by the
physicians, and narrated his narrow escape
from grim death to his friends.
An amusing part OF the story is that Gall
aska is member OF beneficial order from
which he has obtained considerable
amount Of money in sick benefits upon show
ing the wound and representing that he had
been seriously Ill until the tumor had been
removed at the hospital.
