A Dead Lady Brought to Life.
An interesting and astonishing event transpired on the 22d ult., at the house of Mr. George Chandler, a farmer living near the Lowell road, between Nashua and Tyngsboro, Mass. A physician, Dr. Stroiuski, stopped on the afternoon of the day mentioned at Mr. C's house to feed his horse. On entering the house, Mrs. Chandler informed the doctor that her daughter, Susan, died on Saturday, and that the body had been placed in a coffin for interment on Sunday. The doctor on looking into the coffin remarked that the girl was not dead, but only in a fit. He ordered the removal of the body and placed it in a warm bath. After a long struggle the girl was brought to life. After leaving some medicine, the doctor took his departure. On the following day—the one assigned for the funeral—the resuscitated voided a tape worm measuring twenty-eight feet in length, and instead of burying Miss Susan Chandler, the parents interred the cause of all her troubles.
