THE REMARKABLE EXPERIENCE OF A
CONNECTICUT WOMAN.
New Haven News.
In a cosy little cottage overlooking
the Quinuiplac river, on Pine street,
Fair Haven, lives Mis. John L.Evarts,
a lady who. it is asserted, has virtually
eaten nothing for four y|ar3. During
this ti rnftrt ia lias subsisted wholly—so
‘ the jjU ices bf^ruit
taken in suet' seawty quaiitiiies' as to
lie almost inappreciable. The juice of
a single orange has served the purpose
of food for days. Eminent physicians
have studied the case and have all alike
been puzzled and routed in their efforts
to master it. That the story of her
wonderful fust is true nobody knowiug
Mrs. Evaults questions. Her own rep¬
utation and character of the friends
who surround her dispose of any sug¬
gestions of trick or humbug which the
cynical might seek to interpose.
And yet the appearance of the lady
does not lend much plausibility to the
idea that she lias suffered through any
loss of appetite. When met by a re
porter of the Morning News at her
door, yesterday, it was with difficulty
that he could believe that be stood 111
the presence of one who had tasted no
eubstantial food for fifty months. She
was the picture of health. Slightly
last middle age, she seemed, indeed, a
tine specimen of the rugged, old-fash¬
ioned New England womau, used to
out-door exercise, and younger in reali¬
ty than the average woman a half score
years her junior. Her eyes sparkled,
and the flush on her cheek seemed the
tint of perfect health, Her manner
was bright and pleasant, Though
averse to discussing her remarkable ex¬
perience, and feeling a dread of news¬
paper mention, she finally consented to
tell something of the strange story,”
“Four years ago,” said Mrs. Evarts,
“I visited friends at Portland, Me.
while there I suffered from a severe
cough, of which I was unable to rid
myself. I consulted physicions in
Portland and took many kinds of medi¬
cine, but all to no effect. One spring
day the cough left me as suddenly
as it come upon me a
mouths before. Noon subsequently I
began to suffer from severe pains in the
stomach. Plasters were applied and
other remedies sought in vain. I be
came unable to eat anything. The
bare taste of food subjected me to nau¬
sea. In this condition I returned to
New Haven. Tlie best medical aid

Philadelphia heard of my case and
came to see me, and attended me for
some time, but his labors were unavail¬
ing. There seemed n o remedy and *no
skill equal to the demands of the case,
and I have continued until the present
with no return of appetite and subject
to nervous prostration. ”
“And all this time you have eaten no
meat and no pastry of any kind ?” the
reporter asked.
“None whatever, not a single mor¬

Twice in this time I have been hungry.
It was terrible, and I cannot begin to

can swallow none of the substantial

that occasionally I allow a little loaf
