The day following, as expected by the doctor, a woman appeared with her arm burned the entire length and asked for lard to grease her burn, but it was refused. A pin was then asked for, but she was ordered away and told that nothing would be given her, which had the effect of starting her off. The lady was then interrogated and said that several weeks ago this same woman came to her house in the evening and requested a night’s lodging, but it was refused her. She then remarked to Mrs. Nesbitt, “how would you like it if you would not be allowed to rest?” Mrs. N. replied she did not know and shortly after that she was afflicted as above stated.
