Queer Idea of Eniovment.

DR.. Juliet Severance writes in the
Vegetarian Magazine:
Il am often reminded Of a clinic
case brought before the class when
was in medical college in 1858. The
man had govt and rheumatism, both
the small and large joints being inn
movable, and his suffering was severe.
DIR. r. T. Trail, professor of theory and
practice, was explaining to us the i'm
portance of very strict and abstemi-
GUS diet. The poor fellow tried vainly
to turn his head, and grunted out: I
can't go that; I want to enjoy life
while I do live"

called upon by the court to identify

of their eXtradition was fought in the
courts on the points of law.
Before the case was brought to trial
in the New York city courts the at

by attendants were told yesterday in
the hearing Of the lunacy commission
appointed by Gov. Hughes to inyesti-
gate conditions In the Manhattan
state hospital, Wards Island. John g.

instances Of alleged i'll treatment of
patients, who he said we're frequent
~ knocked down and kicked for 4triv-

ants were particularly vengeful they
would be hanged" and sometimes
drugged. 80
Dr.. McCal. 4. who worked at the
hospital that be might obtain informa-
ito nconcerning conditions, described
Hanging" as method of torture. DR..
Mccarthy said the process was to tie
a towel around a patients neck and
twist it until the victim was on the
verge of suffocation. The "hangings,"
DR.. Mccarthy stated, usually took
place in the presence of fifty or sixty
patients, who stood trembling with
fright at what they saw. The witness
said that the attendants gave the pa
tients something that they called
green DOPE" DR.. Mccarthy declared
that there were little or no provoca-
tons for the attacks.
