The incident is the strangest on re-

Mrs, Ebhert tells the following story
'of the strange affair:
Twenty years ago my husband,
Ezra Ebhert, myself and little George,
then but four years old, lived on a
farm near Pulaski, O., happily togeth-

all night and the neighbors joined in
the search We hunted for George for

conclusion that he must have been
stolen. We never received any let

Bath Cure Is Being Used
for Ohio Insane Patients

Cleveland, o., April 2.-Water cure
for insanity, which DR.. Chas. FL. Clark
proposes to install in the treatment of
patients at the Newburg state hospital,
has been carried on with success at
the Case avenue hospital.
Violent cases of insanity as well as
nervous affections of all orders. have
yielded to the water cure. The treat
ment is scientific to a fine degree. DR..
Chas. j. Aldrich, head physician at the
hospital, has devoted years of study
to the Interchangeable treatment.
Baths are given in room equipped
especially for the purpose There is
tub and a shower, with an arrange,
ment for regulating the temperature
OF the water. In the absence of DR..
Aldrich, the treatment was explained
to The Press by the head nurse, Miss
Myrtle Trappe.
The efficacy of the baths in the
treatment of nervous Diseases she
says, lies in their restfulness and
their power to increase the flow of the
blood.
They calm the nerves into health
tul repose and the stimulated circu-
latlon bears them nutrition upon
which they regain health.
Baths are not given in haphazard
fashion. Physicians in charge of the
cases prescribe them as they might
drugs or medicines The doctors name
the number of baths, the temperature
OF the water, the time the patient shall
be immersed.
