ONLY A FLUFF.
Louisville Surgeons Use Ice Water In
stead Of Knife to Perform
Operation

Louisville, May ia New Albany.
Ind, woman is In hospital here care
fully wrapped in bandages, and labor
ing under the delusion that she has
undergone dangerous operation for a
disease Of the stomach. Her physicians
are carefully watching her, in the an
ticipation that their unique deception
may permanently cure the hysteria
with which she has been afflicted for
several months. The experiment is a
rare one.
The patient had been operated upon
several years ago. Since that time she
has been constantly harassed with the
hallucination that there would be an
ultimate recurrence of the trouble
About three months ago she had a
fright which upset her nerves. A few
days afterWard she announced that she
detected symptoms of q recurrence of
her complaint. Her physicians made a
careful examination. but could find no
traces of the trouble. She insisted on
an operation, however, and the physi-
clans arranged the deception.
Just enough opiates were administer
ed to reduce her to q state of semi
consciousness. She could hear and feel
vaguely, but could see nothing. The
physicians, speaking gravely, spent con-
siderable time in definitely locating the
supposed trouble. When all was in
pitcher of ice water which he held
above the Nlrt supposed to be affected,
and allowed a drop to fall at intervals
of about fifteen seconds. With each
drop of water the patient WINGED, and
occasionally groaned as If in great
agony. Once or twice she could be
heard to whisper that the doctors be
careful and not to cut her too deeply.
When it was thought the hoax had
been successfully carried to completion,
the doctors swathed the patient in
bandages and had her removed to her
room. On awakening she found her
self In the presence Of two trained
nurses, who are keeping up the decep-
ton by not allowing her to move a
muscle. Although she has the appetite
and strength of a normal woman, she
lies perfectly passive and submits
cheerfully to the diet of clear broth.
The physicians say they will allow her
to leave the infirmary in three weeks.

New York, May 20.-SiX weeks be,

Morkell blinked in a strange world it
was surrendered by its mother. One
hour and a half after its birth the in
tant was taken from her and carried
Ia u carriage to the New York Foun-
ding asylum, at Sixty eighth street
AID Lexington avenue.
The baby was born on Monday morn
ing last In an apartment house at No.
las West One Hundred and Twenty
sixth street. where its mother, Mrs.
Flora Morkell. is now living.
Several times since the child went
out of her life maternal instinct
prompted the mother to inquire for the
welfare of the infant which she may
never again sec and whose future joys
or sorrows she may never know.
Robert Morkell was soldier In the
Spanish American war; and acquitted
himself with credit in Cuba. He dis
appeared last December and soon aft
erwards. Mrs. Morkell AYERS, she re-
ceivod word that he was dead-killed
In Cuba.
Several months ago Mrs. Morkell
moved into the One Hundred and
Twenty sixth house. where she has
been supported by j. H. Mcdonald, her
fathers brother.
Realizing that her baby would make
1t impracticable for her to become self
supporting, and feeling that her uncle
had already been overland to her,
| Mrs. Morkell early in March decided to
give up her babe. 1t was after more
than months elaboration that she
decided to take the step. She is not
more than 25 years old. very pretty
| and accomplished. She has been mar
ried five years.
Reconcled to the surrender Of the
child. she signed the article Of surren-
der prepared by her uncle.
The babe is an unusually handsome
| boy Weighing eleven pounds AS soon
as the mother could be made comfort
able, arrangements We're made for the
sad separation. A cab was summoned
and into 1t the nurse and Mr.. MacDon-
aid hurried. the former carrying the
| cooling little one, swathed in blankets.
The parting scene was pathetic, the
| mother approaching the fact that by
the terms of her agreement she would
never again be privileged to claim the
| little fair faced child as her own.
