bewilderment of physielna and those about her It la a lwgYigU thut has been kept over this unfortunate girL Miss Wilbur was asphyxiated on the nlght of Febraary 1898 and suffered all the distressing effects of carbon monoxide poisoning Investigation showed that the young ladyhad made no attempt at suicide When she was discovered by the family on the morning of the J7thsbe was fully dressed lying on a couch A book close to her where Jt had fallen from her hand Indicated that she had fallen asleep while reading and as the window was partially open It was presumed that the wind had blown out the light permitting the gas to escape Each day the attending physicians expected that Miss Wilbur would recover her senses and when4wo weeks had passed and Miss Wilburs condition was unchanged the caae was the wonder of the medical i fraternity but now that the weeks have passed Into months and the months Well Into the second year the strange caset has been almost forgotten Practically there has been hut little change andf despair has failed upon the family A wejk ago It was decided to make a radical change and the sick girl wast moved from her residence 2218 California street to a cozy cottage where a sheltered garden permits her removal from the house There Is no one with her but a nurse All medical treatment has been given up and there are Just patient nursing and systematic nourishment So far Miss WJlbur has shown no realization of the change of Bcene She has recovered her beauty of face and figure but Is as helpless as a baby and shows about as much realization of her surroundings as a three months oJd infant She recognizes po one about her not even James Dunphy the I son of the late cattle king tq whom she was engaged to be married He has tried every possible way to bring her back to a normal condition and has claimed the privilege of providing everything for her comfort and welfare Miss Wilbur eats and with some apparent relish When a cup is placed to her lips she put3 her hands around it quite like a baby when it flrst vsiguely strives to grasp things She makes no attempt to articulate and just lies sleeping on in what might be called a wide awake trance When Miss Wilbur had been In this helpless condition for some seven months It was noticed that she seemed conscious of pain and cried almost ln Lcesgantly physicians declared that all her organs were normal ana that there was no apparent reason for pain Upon the suggestion of a friend a dentist was sentfor He foundlt necessary to draw one tooth and fill twp The shock and the profuse bleeding seemed to give relief and Miss Wilbur was certalnlr better Since that time except to In crease In weight there has been no encouragingencouraging change From the time thecase was publicly bQted Miss Wilburs mother Mrs Logan has been in reeeipt of letters from ail parts of the world They In elude offers from the best known Christ tlan scientists and allied believers to treat the Invalid Their services have been declined but many have said that they would treat the patient without consent There has beep but oneex ceptlon to this rule adhered to by the family and that was In the case of a healer from Hlndostan It is conceded that Since the three treatments he gave her her extremities nave not been cola He did hatremaln long in this city and the fact that Mlss Wilbur was treated
