THE STATE CONVENTION.
/Charlottk, N C., March 7.—One
/of the strangest cases that has ever been
brought, to the attention of the physi
cians of this section of the country is
recorded from Cabarrus county, and
wo relate the circuuislances as given to
us by parties who saw the patient them
selves, and know what they say to be
true. Mr. A- M. Wilhelm, of No. 10
township, Cabarrus county, passed
through Concord on Monday night with
his sick son, John, aged 20 years, on
is way to Salisbury to cousull Dr.
ilhelm in regard to the extraordi-
r ary malady with which his son is af-
icted.
It in a most peculiar case, and the
disease is what the doctors term “hyper
^t'r.hesla. ,, Au ordinary bathing tub
can be filled with cold water, and the
boy’s feet placed therein, and in less
than ten minutes the water will be
made so hot that one can feel the heat
through the staves of the tub. The boy
suffers agony as if he had his feet in a
bed of ooals all the time, and was ear
ned from his father's house to Salis
*■ bury with his feet in a tub of water.—
Between his father’s house and Con
cord, Mr. Wilhe m had to change the
'water four times, and shortly after be-
ring chsuged each time would beeftme
^ hot again. At times the pains, suffered
by the boy is almost beyond enduraueb.
f Morphine used in treble doses has no
effect upon him. but at times whisky is
used to good ad van 1 age. He
suffering about one month.
Mr. Wilhelm is running a steam mib,
and this b< y is his chief help. On ihe
day that this malady appeared, one of
hi-< little brothers was at the engine,
and by chance a very strong head of
Mtcaru was put on. The machinery was
soon in rapid and violent motion, so
much so that a 1 left the mil bu* the
iitile fellow, who climbed on the en
gine, and was at ihe steam guage trying
♦o regulate matters. Thft other boy,
John, coming up, and seeing the peri -
rus condition of his little brother, has
ti'y put up a ladder and mounted it for
the rescue, but upon reaching him he
rocking of the boi er and engine was so
great that he could not get the young
follow down, who was maufuliy trying
to manafpe the guage. The machinery
was finally stopped and eyerything
righted. Tho exci'ement and strain
upon John's nervous system was iu this
case supposed to be the foundation of
his disease, as he was attacked the
some day with a strange, stinging sen
sation in his arms, and from that to his
legs and feet, where he is now suffering.
The idea of a man’s feet being so warm
as to heat cold water in ten minutes, is
puzzling the medi^^frateruity, unless
they can conuect th^fflock and scare at
tho engine with it in some way.

DAY &
A suit involving the question wheth
er information obtained by a physician
from a patient, orally or by observation,
must be disclosed on the wituess stand,
has been before the Supreme Court ot
Missouri. It was claimed that the
statute referred to only what had been
spoken to the dottor. The law declares
that “he shall be competent to testify
eoneernint any informa ion acquired by
him from any paiient whom he limy be
attending in a professional character,
and which information was necessarv to
enable him to prescribe as a physician
or operate as a surgeon.” 'i he court
holds that it will not do, while the
mouth of a physician is closed as to the
talk of his patient, to open it as to
knowledge acquired from his own di
agnosis of the case.
