He said the man had a de- pression in the back of the skull, evi- dently the result of an operation, and well calculated to fool ambulance sur- geons who do not know McMahon. After speaking of McMahon's well- known ability to withstand ordinary surgical tests, Dr. Maloney said: “I once r across a fellow who eclipsed McMahon in his ability to stand all tests, except one.

Some of them doubtless believe they need the cutting. I believe much of this desire for treatment comes from illy digested reading of medical works. Dr. W. L. Stone of Cornell Medical College relates the following story of a woman’'s ability to withstand pain. “Once,” he says, “I received a hurry to attend an unconscious woman had been brought into a police sta- I was just graduated from college. So, for fear of exposing my undue zeal, I resolved to make some very severe tests on the woman when I found her. manifestly belonged to the lower of society.

Then I concluded that her was serious and I rushed her off to ‘When we got there one of woman on the stretcher. laughed said: ‘I say, Stone, what have you there?” ‘O, said I, ‘that appears to be a serious case,’ and I told him of the tests I had applied. ‘Serious, nothing. | he said. Then he walked up to the woman and said, ‘Now, look here. Mag. you can’t fool me! Get up out of there and get out! Go along, now? To my great surprise the woman did get up and cursed him roundly for informing on her. She had fooled that surgeon once, just as she had fooled every new man. But her ability to withstand the pain I must have caused her astonished me.” Dr. David T. Marshall of Gouveneur Hospital relates how the house physi- cian of one of the City Island hospitals got rid of a man who feigned paralysis of the legs.” The man affirmed that he could not walk, and lay apparently helpless, at the mercy of a tremendous appetite. One summer’s day when the man had to be wheeled out on a veranda, the physician rigged up a hose at the foot of the paralytic’s bed. fixing the nozzle in such a manner that | a stream of water from the hose would strike the man near the neck. That night, while the patient was asleep, the faucet connecting with the hose was turned on. Several doctors were in the office awaiting developments. Almost instantly the vells of the manawakened nearly every one in the hospital. and in a moment he was jumping downstairs three steps at a time. He made a great outery, but the authorities did not have to persuade him to leave. He went of his own accord and nothing but a padded cell could have held him back. In the Presbyterian Hospital they tell of an old woman who used to fall an- parently unconscious on the street books.

She lived in Eighty-seventh street, and for vears the ambulance surgeon of the hospital would wait for that call. It always came without fail the day before Thanksgiving. Nothing ever was found to be the matter with this woman. nor could the hospital authorities ever find out why she made her periodical visits. The pet remembrance of the Mt. Sinai Hospital doctors is of a woman who avowed she could not walk. She staved some weeks in the institution and the physicians knew she was feigning sick- | ness yet they could not make her stand on her legs. Finally the head physician said one day to his assistant in front of her, “Now, to-day we will give this pa- : tient electricity. Start on a small cur- $2.50 curtains $1.25 rent. If it is not strong enough give her 3.00 curtains 1.50 more until it is, and apply it to the 4.00 curtains 2.00 soles of the feet. She will walk.
