SE TE TET FDS FINDS A LOST SISTER, Stadent Fata xt a Chicago Hospital Post. Mortem, In the distectivog room of the county hospital! yesterday morning was witnessed as dramatic a scene 88 ever came witbin the range of fic tion, says tbe Chieago Tribune. The Lappening was eo sudden and start ling and eo surcharged with s.rrow that the physicians and attendants were overcome, though therr practice end work bave steeled them beyond moat pereons. Dr. W. T Kirby, one of the bos- pital physician, was about to perform an autopsy ov the body of Minnie Heath, a young girl who weary of the sorrow and horror of her life, bud taken carbolic acid to end it After her body passed through the Coroner's hands it was taken to the county morgue Four weeks ago Dr. Kirby received a letter from a brotber physician. a 6pecialist practicing iu Chicago. The fetter said a young man bad just come from Loursville. Ky., to place himself uader the care of the spe cialist for a slight though stubborn wlmeot The young men was a medical student, just entering on bis studies and the specialist asked hie friend, Dr Kuby to allow him €o visit the hospital and see the in- stitution under intelligent guidance Dr. Kirby wrote to his friend to send the young Kentuckian over and be would do ail be could for him. The yisit was paid one week ago yes- €-rday. The student showed a d-ep interest io all that pertained to his future profession. As he parted from Dr. Kirby he said: ‘TI euppose I must accustom my eslf to everything with which a phy sician bas to deal. J t+ll you frank- ly I should like much to attend a post mortem examination.” Dr. Kirby told him when next he was to hold an autopsy he would gend for the student. On Friday night Dr. Kirby called up bis friend and asked him to tell bis young Kentucky patient there would be an autopsy at the horpital the next morning on the body of a girl sui cide Promptly at 9a.m. the stu dent was at the County Hospita' pbysician’s door. Together they went to the dissecting room There Dr. Kirby told bis visitor that post mortems were not pleas-nt things fo the uninitiated and he jokingly added: “Now don’t faint.” The student laughed and said he was horror proof Then the at- tendants brought out a sheet-ehroud ed body and placed it on the table. The features of the dead were cover ed. There was only a half-light iv the place. The medical student stood at the head of the covered form One of the attendants drew the sheet down, diaclosing the face Dr Kirby heard a balf-stifled ex clemation. He leoked towards hi~ eisitor. The student's face was as white as the shest which shrouded the dead. The doetor went toward him but before he could reach his side the student had fallen to the floor-insensible. The attendants dashed water in his face and Dr. Kirby fcrced brandy b tween hia clused lips, but it was ionger than usual befere conscious nees came back. When the student came outof the faint, he passed bis kand’ before his eyee, staggered to his feet, luoked _ again at the face of the dead, and cried: “My God, my sister!” They led him from the room and in broken words he told Dr Kirby his sister hud left the Louisville home five years before and from that day neither parents, nor brothers. nor.sistere, ever hed beard one word from her. They long bad believed her dead. Last night the body of the suicide in a costly casket was taken to the childhood home in Kentucky. Dr. Kirby will not disclosa the name of the girl's family, saying ouly that itis one which, in Louis ville, is synonymous with wealth and the highest social standins Is Your Tongue Coated, your throat dry, your eyes dull and inflated and do you tee! mean generally when you get up in the morn- ing.
