DrS. Wheeler aud Srall0n have had
very peculiar case of dropsY under their
care aud observation for two years past.
1t is the Houghton tailor, Mr.. ID. Verne,
and he more than cncc has been given
up. and once. at least. relatives at Du-
Iuth were telegraphed for. and yet Just
now there is another surprising turn in
the disease. and Mr.. Verne declares he
will be- out on the street In week or so.
Dropsy is OF course. not an uncommon
ailment for the flesh to fall heir to, but
in the present instance it presents
features for which the attending physi-
clans can find no precedent in the books
OF the profession and they are entirely
at sea as TO the cause Of the phenomena.
Several times the accumulation of water
portion OF the body loses its shape. except
the head. and the pressure is so great
over the>luugs that breathing becomes Il
most difficult matter. The patient is real
ly in danger OF drowning lying in his bed.
The pain during these periods has been
great and still all the efforts Of the physi-
clans could only be put fortn toward re-
leving the pain. and no remedy seemed
to effect the condition. Each time when
the end Of the suffering OF Mr.. Verne
seemed about come and hope almost
given up. the psres OF the skin OF the
limbs opened aud the water oozpd out In
great quantities, relieving the pressure
gradually until the patients condition
would be almost normal. That is the
case at present and day or so ago when
the throwing-off process began two pals
full was the result in tweEty-four hours.
DIR. Wheeler Intends writing history
OF the case for one of the medical journ-
als--Copper Country News.
