Peralyzed Girl
Suggesti
Physicians at Grady Hospital Fri
day witnessed the most remarkable
case of psychological effect in the his
tory of the institution when Miss An
nie Jenking, 18, of No. 62 Alamo ave
enue, suddenly became normal after
having been totally paralyzed in her
right arm.
Miss Jenkins, the daughter of Mr.
and Mre, M. J. Jenkins, was carried
to the hospital Weg¢nesday to be
treated for paralysis. The physicians
were unable to cause any improve
ment in her arm. It was then feared
she would be a cripple for life.
On Thursday Miss Jenkins told the
physicians she had a young man
friend suffering identically as she did.
She had thought of him and sympa
thized with him dally for several
months, she said. * Then suddenly she
became paralyzed, and the visit to
the hospital followed.
The physicians sought to change
the mental condition that apparently
had caused the giri's illness. Thurs
day afternoon they made a complete
diagnosis of her case. She was told
that on Friday the physicians in
tended to perform a very painful and
dangerous operation on her crippied
arm.
On Friday morning she awoke a
well girl, perfectly normal and ready
to return home.
