PUZZLE FOR
PHYSICIANS
STRANGE CASE OF YOUNG WOMAN
AT ABERDEEN, S. o.
PRATTLES LIKE LITTLE BABE
MaeNeous Change Takes Place in Her
Condition After She Had Been APP.
parentIy Dead-Now Believed That
She Will Recover.

Aberdeen S. d., Jan. 20.-One of
the strangest cases in the medical his.
tory of South Dakota was made public
by local practicing osteopath today,
the patient being Miss Genevieve Lu.
cier bearing, a resident of Florence,
Colo, aged 81.
Last spring Miss bearing was taken
with brain fever Two and half
years previously she had been operat-
ed upon for appendicitis, but the op.
Grafton, it is claimed, was improperly
performed. These two caused her to
be attacked with ascending paralysis,
her condition having been aggravated
by an attack of typhoid fever, which
was not treated by physicians because
her parents are Christian Scientists.
Last year she was brought to a prom
inent local osteopath for treatment.
In October she was taken sick with
pneumonia, and from that time on
her condition continued to increase in
gravity until, on Christmas day, she
became blind, and at times was deaf
and dumb as the attacks of paralysis
waxed greater in violence.
Appeared to Be Dead.
Last Sunday morning she opened
her eyes, called the members of the
osteopath's family about her, bade
them goodby, left final word for her
absent relatives, and dropped back
upon the pillows, apparently dead. The
doctor did not believe the rigor which
had set in was that of death, however
and applied restoratives, succeeding in
restoring the young woman to con
seriousness. But as soon as this oc
Cured the bystanders saw that a mar
velOus change had taken place. Where
before she had been unable to move
her lower limbs or her left hand OIL
arm, because of the paralysis, she
could move all her limbs freely. But
she appeared as mere babe, and has
maintained that condition since. Wher
approached by anyone she gurgles and
COOS in delight. She takes no nourish
ment except milk from bottle equip
ped with a rubber nipple, and wher
hungry gives vent to her pangs il
cries such as an infant uses. Today
she began to use the expressions
mamma" and dada" but she does
not use any other words. Wasted tC
skeleton, since her recovery from
the apparent death of Sunday, she is
gaining in flesh. The doctors family
while at loss to explain the occur
renee, believe in a few months time
she will entirely recover her norma
faculties.
The young woman had, before the
last development in her illness, a con
siderable talent as an artist, and many
articles painted by her. as we'll as
many pieces of burnt wood, were sole
at the church bazaars during the holi
| day season. The articles were paint
| ed or burned by the use of her RICH
! hand, while her body and remaining
limbs were paralyzed.

Practical education is the fashion Of

fronted with facts. Faneies which
soften and beautffy life are thought
superfuous, and fairy tales are often
banished from the nursery. Not long

and reprimanded teacher for telling
the babies there a fairy story.
Letters in the papers followed. and
many agreed with the action of the

Nevertheless, to listen to stories

a part of the childish program.

MINES OF WEALTH IN PERU
In Natural Resources the Country Is
Easily One of the Richest
on the Globe.

Rich as Peru" is a common saying.
but It is none the less true. The orr.
gin OF the phrase dates back to the
Spanish conquest Of South America.
when 1t was fondly believed that the
Aztecs were all Croesuses. The fall
lacy was proven with the lives of in
Vulnerable Spanish adventures, and
the real wealth OF the country was left
for another day and generation to dis
cover. Within the last few years the
Peruvians have awakened to the posi-
bilities OF development of the re-
sources Of one of the most wealthy
countries in the world in natural heri-
tage. and they are welcoming the
friendly influx of foreign capital with
the same ardor exhibited by their an
cestors in defeating a like invasion.
The first product that one associates
with the name of Peru is guano, than
which no more powerful fertilizer and
stimulator of vegetable life exists.
Credit for the discovery of the COM
mercial value of the immense beds of |
guano that line the rocky shores of
the South American republic is given |
to Baron Humboldt.
From his time to the present the ex-
ploration Of these pathological de-
pos1ts has been going on steadily, and
now the richest beds are In danger of
being exhausted The government of
late has controlled the Industry and
given licenses for working the beds
rom April to September. During the
'est of the year the industry is pro
libited to allow replenishing by the
seagulls and pelicans. The
light of expectation is now held by a
zig British corporation.
II is estimated that more than IL.
100000 tons of this modern Peruvian !
wealth have been exported since its
