In a strongbox in one of the vaults Of
the Cincinnati Safe Deposit Company,
says the Enquirer, there is a paper be-
longing to an old and well-known
physician residing in the West end. 1t
is written statement Of one OF the
strangest and most remarkable expe-
riences ever had by physician.
In the year that the rebellion broke
out the rhysician. who will be des-
ignated as DR., c., was connected witha q
well-known medical college His busi-
ness was 70 buy material for the dis
secting-room and instruct the students
in their work.
One night DIR. G.. was at work polnt-
ing out the construction Of several
nerves in the arm of a corpse, when he
was called into the hall to see two men.
He recognized his visitors as body
snatchers. They told their business
quickly. In their wagon, within q
quarter of a mile of the college, was
the body of a beautiful young woman
that had been s.lifted" just that day.
They would deliver it for eighty dollars
'What did she die OFF" asked DIR. G
'sOh, nothing out little throat
trouble, and we didn't hurt the body q
bit as we got it out. She was the
daughter Of rich farmer near Glen
dale, and was going to be married
soon" The doctor accepted the offer,
and it was not long before. the corpse
delivered. The men carried their bur-
,Aos, ,1l fIa
of the room adjoining the dissecting.
room. DR.. G. stepped in turned up the
light, and handed the men the money.
One of them opened the sack and the
head of the corpse was exposed.
''She was indeed handsome" said the
doctor.
AS the three walked out Of the room
the doctor asked himself: "Can she be
alive? / am sure l saw her eyelids
move" As he entered the dissecting-
room and proceeded to his work the
students noticed that he was nervous
and excited. In few minutes he was
compelled to abandon his work and go
home.
Out In the street he continued to
think Of the corpse. When he reached
home his wife had hot cup of coffee
and some lunch prepared, but he could
not touch it. Being pressed to confide
in his wife, he told her about the body
at the college.
Don't waste a moment" she cried.
Return to the college at once, and il
the girl is alive you will get credit for
bringing her back to life"
Securing his coat and hat, the physi.
clan was soon on his way back to the
college. The cathedral bells were just
tolling the hour of midnight. DR.. @,
stopped at the residence of an old medi.
cal friend and asked him to accompany
him. The two proceeded at once to the
dissecting. room and, after making q
lght, cut open the sack. The breast OF
the corpse was b are, and she was clad
only in her underclothes, silk hose, and
slippers. The grave-robbers, as was
afterward learned, had torn from the
body the dress in which the Young lady
was to have been married.
Carefully the two doctors lifted the
body on table.
Her heart is STILL" said DIR. c., as ht
placed his ear to the breast.
"And she has no pulse" said the
other. ~
"Her body is quite COOL" said DR.. G.
as he asked the other to assist him II
giving the corpse vigorous rubbing
They lifted up the corpse and rubbed il
as hard as they. could for some time.
DR.. G. got an electric battery ant
placed it alongside of the neck. Soor
after 1t had begun to work, the eyes o
the corpse opened, the lips quivered, ant
the head raised up.
