write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham's Laboratory
at Lynn, Mass, and secure from a
woman the most efficient advice with

other female attendants and excited the pa
tients throughout the building by her shrieks
and disorderly conduct.
Theresa Hennessy began the row. She had
been out, apparently shopping. all day She had
not been in the female dormitory more than
few minutes when the heat of the room made
her so irritable that she began to quarrel. She
told stories of what this woman had said of that
woman in the room, and tried to get them fight
ing. When some of them resented what she had
said It aroused her anger. and she attacked Nem
all at once. She struck this way and that.

shouting at the top Of her voice. Other women
also screamed.
The patients were alarmed and doctors. nurses
and attendants rushed in. Captain McHale. of
the night watch. and Policeman McKenna, of
the prison ward. feared that some one was be-
ing dangerously injured The Hennessy woman
yelled in drunken defiance she saw the men
coming 10 take her away. She squared off TO
fight them. Several nurses and the policeman
