Wiuet, aged thirty-fve, of 43 Alton Street
has refused TO take food for the past ten
days and is dying. She lives with her
husband, Frank Willett, and their three
children She gave no reason at the time
for refusing food, but has since said that
she does not believe God wished her to
eat.
Dr. Fred J Ripley was called, but the
woman refused to be treated. She is a
believer IN Christian Science, and so a
healer of that faith was summoned, who
attempted to persuade her to eat, but to
no avail
DR.. w P. Chisholm and Dr. E P. GIea-
son were then called, and they decided
that heroic measures must be taken
without delay to save her life. They fore
ed brandy and predigested food down her
throat and were rewarded by feeling a
slight flutter of the heart. They do not
think Mrs. Wilet viii recover.

credited and he expressed faith in the ultimate
dominance Of democratic government firmly
and more widely established than ever before He
said
The American people have for hundred years
