' * 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.

A celebrated physician of 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¬ sel,” was the response. “My physi¬ cians and friends will tell you this Twice in this time I have been hungry. It was terrible, and I cannot begin to tell you what I was obliged to suffer. I did not dare to eat anything, and at tue same time my cravings were such that when I saw a little clog running in the street 1 felt as if I could eat every particle |of flesh upon it. I go out to rfde nearly every day, and con¬ sider myself a well woman, with the exception that I partake of no substan¬ tial food, and never sit at a table ex¬ for “What keeps you alive ?” fruit%aten “My only substance is fruit* not as other people eat fruit. I can swallow none of the substantial portions. It is only the juice that I dare take—all that I want .to take.
