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.
