doing, for the love of money, and
thereby added much to the worlds al

LOSS OF MEMORY.
The Remarkable Case of u Woman In
brighton, England.


brighton, England.
London Spectator.
A very curious instance of those sud
den and total losses of memory which
raise such perplexing and appalling
problems as to the nature of the per-
sonalfty of a man is reported this week
from Brighton. While sitting on the
sea front a woman felt something
break in her head. She thereupon be-
came unable TO tell her name, address
or anything connected with her past
life. She is at present in the Brighton
worklJouse, her continual cry being
"Oh, shall / get my memory again?"
Her clothing does not contain single
mark or initial whereby she might be
identified. She is a respectfully ed
woman, apparently fairly weli-to-do.
The following IS her description: Age,
about Sc. dressed neatly IN black, APP
pears 10 be a nurse or companion, well
educated, wears a wedding ring.
We hold. and II seems to us are
bound to hold. that the notion of a hfe
beyond the grave which will not be en-
bowed of memory Of this life Is tanta-
mount to annfhilation. But " phe state
of tslis poor woman Is permanent, then
she has already suffered sort OF ami
hflation, though, of course. death may
revive her lost faculties. Sill, IL she
goes on living she will in effect be an
other person, and how are these two
personalities to be linked and recopcil-
ed? In truth, the whole thing is one
of the most soul-shaking OF mysteries.
