Dr. Nevins tells very touching story in
his Disorders of the Brain" A patient of
his, young lady engaged to be married,
was often visited by her intended husband
by the stagecoach, which passed within a
mile or two of her house. One day she went
to meet him and found instead an old
friend, who brought the news of his sudden
death. She uttered frightful scream,
"He is deadr' and then all consciousness of
her misfortune ceased. Day by day for
so years did this poor creature in all sea
sons journey to the spot where she expected
to see her lover alight from the coach, and
day by day she uttered in plaintiye tone:
He is not come yet. will return tomor-
