the British Medical journal. tells of a
remarkable case Of imaginary disease
that was cured by an imaginary opera
ton.
The case came under the operations
Of Mr. Richelot, surgeon in the Cochin
Hospital, Paris, who told of it to a
number Of his colleagues. A peasant
woman who claimed she had lizard
in her stomach inquired II 1t could
be removed. She affirmed that the
reptile had tenated her body for two
score years and that It had kept from
her the food intended for her nourish.
ment. After careful examination DR..
Richelot discovered that the woman
was suffering from an hallucination
and he determined to relieve her by an
Imaginary operation in laparotomy.
When she came from under the tnti@'
ence of the anesthetic he showed her a
live lizard, that he had procured Tor
the purpose, and the poor woman was
oyerjoyed. She began Immediately to
take on flesh and was soon apparent

This story suggests parallel Incl
dent that was reported from Lynn
haven Bay near the site of the James
town Exposition on Hampton Roads,
near Norfolk, Va. An oysterman be-
came possessed of the idea that an
oyster was growing in his stomach
He said 1t was immense and that 1t
almost filed that important organ OF
digestion. He could feel the bivatTe
open and close its shell and swore
that the thing didn't leave him enough
food to keep him alive.
But what troubled him more than
the presence of that giant oyster IN
his interior was that he felt certain
It contained a pearl of fabulous size
and priceless value. AS time went on
and the oyster grew the afflicted mans
vanity waxed fat apace and, being as

This alarmed him and after few
days he disappeared going no one
knew whittier, but after few months
returned to Norfolk and informed his
friends that he had entirely recover
ed from "oysteritis," or whatever the
disease might be called, and that a
Camden, New Jersey, doctor had
brought about the cure. According to
his report the doctor had given him
something to dlssolye the oyster shell,
and this done; the entire obstruction

AS to the pearl he was sorry to re-

dissolve the oyster shell had doubt

regretted the loss of his wealth, but
was glad to be able again to eat a
square meal and keep it all for him
