majority of cases thus popularity described
there is nothing like on actual rupture OF
the heart: yet he admits that mental alice
tions will not infrequsntly cause real dis
ease Of the body. and he mentions an
actual case of broken heart cited by DR..
j. n. Mitchell. OF the jefferson College,
Philadelphia, in lecturing 10 his pupils,
In an early period OF his life DR.. Mitchell
accompanied as surgeon packet that
sailed from Liverpool TO one OF the AmerI-
can ports. The captain frequently con-
versed with HIM respecting q lady who
had promised 70 become his bride on BIS
return from that voyage.
Upon this subject he evinced great
warmth of feeling and showed some costly
Jewels and ornaments which he intended
TO present as bridal gifts. On reaching bis
destination he was abruptly informed that
the lady had married some one else.
Instantly the captain was observed e
clasp his hand TO his breast and fall
heavily to the ground. He was taken NJ
and conveyed 70 his cabin on board the
vessel. DR.. Mitchell was immediately
Summoned, but before he reached him the
captain was dead. A post-mortem eXani-
nation revealed the cause.
His heart was found literally torn IN
twain. The tremendous propulsion oil
blood adds the NARRATOR consequent upon
such violent nervous shock, forced the
powerful muscular tissues asunder, and
life was at an end.
