MAN WITHOUT MEMORY.

Sab Francisco Examiner.
George G. Hunter, of Oakland, has
lost his memory as completely as if he
had never had brain. He is alive and
we'll, goes about just like an ordinary
person, but can recall nothing Of his
past life. His mind is blank. He
does not remember his wife nor his
mother. Though he had good educa-
ton, he has forgotten how to read or
write, and the multiplication table has
lied into regions from which he cannot
recall it. He remembers that face is
familiar, but that is all. The name OF
anything about the person he cannot
recall. The accident bringing such.

the head, fracturing the skull. He was
removed to Dr.. Woolsey's hospital in an
unconscious condition and placed under
the care of DR.. Dunn. A large part of
the skull, where the iron struck it, was
Splintered and pressed inward against
the brain. So serious was the case that
1t seemed almost hopeless to attempt to
save the mans life. Nevertheless the
attempt was made, and from the sur

spllntered portion of the skull, meaSur-
ing about two inches in width by four
inches i'll length, was carefully removed
and the pressure upon the brain re-

splintered bone had lacerated the mem
brane of the brain. The doctors then
began to cultivated the injured brain
and its coverings. The process of
granula1ion has gone on day by day
until the entire membrane has been re-
