kU UNFORTUNATE CASE.
Mrs. isa D. townsend Suffering from Acute
Mania at Her Home

An unfortunate instance of acute
mania is reported in the case of Mrs,
Asa ID. Townsend. who lives on the
road to Watelville. on the west side of
the river about three miles from the
city proper, Or. Sanborn has seen the
sufferer, and expresses doubt Of her re-
coverY. at least of permanent recov-
cry.
For come time Mrs Townsend has
been in poor health. After some med
zeal treatment, last spring she showed
much Improvement, and was enabled
to be out and about it is said, previous
~ having been confined to- her house
When according to her physician,
she was making great progress, she
gave up the physicians treatment,
last summer, and received the atten-
dance Of a Christian Scientist
About six weeks ago she became in
sane The teachings Of Christian
Science are almost continually on her
mind, and she declares that she is now
We'll, after having long suffered. Up
to this time. commencing three weeks
ago and previously. during the physi-
clans attendance she had shown no
signs whatever of mania
The case is a pitiful one. Mrs
Townsend requires an attendant con
tinually. If left alone she is seized
with the mania for burning everything
she can get her hands on, and viii
strike at her best friends. She seems
bent on destroying. When any dis
order or sickness is mentioned TO her
she denies it. and vehemently declares
that Christian Science has been the
cause Of her healing, and that she has
been perfectly we'll since the day when
she first received the treatment.
Mrs Townsend has alwa.s been a
most hignly esteemed women. and her
many friends are deeply grieved over
her condition. 1t is through the wishes
Of her mother that she is retained at
home and not taken to the hospital
for treatment.
