Is a Man Turning in a Saint
Paul Hospital and
Slowly Dying,

SAINT PAUL, July 1S-Nlne
years ago this coming September,
Charles J. Murphy, OF Northfeld, a
studeut "a years old, limped into
Saint Luke's hospital on crutnces
and was put to bed. He has been
there ever since slowly dying OF a
tdisease as ancient as the earliest
relics Of Egypt, as mysterious as the
prehistoric period and as certain as
the pyramids. He is slowly ossify-
ling-turning to stone, the deposits
in the joints becoming solid and
stiffening his entire fran in rigid
thing.
When the chill touches his heart
he will die. 1t may be a year. 1t
may not be for a number of years /.
But there is no escape. The tech
meal name for the disease is osteo.
arthitis. It's cause is unknown. No
method of stopping it has been re-
vealed.
Can Do. Nothing For Self.
Day after day Murphy lies in a
little darkened room in the base
ment ward Of the hospital, nearly
prone on an adjustable cot, his arms
stiff and fat beside his body, his
limbs changed from the human
shape, his eyes blind by the ossif.
\ cation process and he can disting.
uish only between light and dark
ness. At night he is lifted into his
bed, to await another day. 1t has
been a long time since he could
ipass the time by reading. 1t has
been longer than that since he could
give himself any physical assist
ance.
Every Joint Stifened
The physician to whom he and
This mother went when the disease
first became alarming, and who i'm
Imediately made the diagnosis witch
was a death warrant, says he does
not believe there is a joint in the
unfortunate mans body which has
mot become rigid or started to stiffen
Even his Jaws are affected, so that
he talks with some difficulty and
must be fed slowly and carefully.
Knows He is Dying.
Through It all Murphy is patient.
He knows he is dying and is waiting
philosoph!cally for the end. His
mind is active and appreciative. and
always reaching out for knowledge
for all the things the world has
fbeen doing since he entered his
room nearly half a score OF years
ago.
