RELIEVES INSANITY.
FIRST CASE OF ITS KIND
'VIOLENT PATIENT'S REASON MAY
COMPLETELY RETURN.
KtlAULSTONES AFFECTED MIND
* fler Having Been One of Iho Violently
lently Insane Inmates of the Norfolk
Hosplt.il for Three Years , Platte
Ccnver Woman's Mind Clears up.
After having boon violently Insane
s"or the imat lliroo years tlio mind of
"Urn. MichuelKon , a 1-iatto Center ,
> Jeli. , patient lu the Norfolk state boss-
pllal for the Insane , has boon vury
riHitorlnlly atul almost completely ro-
Hturud to Its normal clearness as the
Tomilt of a surgical operation for gall-
itOHOH.
Dr. 0. A. Young , superintcntlont of
the liospltal , performed the operation ,
removing -115 gallstones * and also ro-
.moving the gall-bladder.
From the inomunl that she regained
.consciousness after the operation , It
wiis apparent that Mrs. Mlcliaelson's
demented condition had been very
.greatly relieved. Dr. Young Said to
The News \Vodnemlay morning that
Mrs. Miehaelson had very greatly 1m-
proved , and that It remains to be seen
whether or not the removal of the
gallstones and the gall-bladder will
l > erinanotitly cure her Insanity. He
has hopes that such will be the case.
.It sanity Is completely restored as the
result of this operation , it will bo the
first ease of its kind of record , though
insane patients have been known to
do ) completely cured by an attack of
( typhoid fever.
Was a Violent Patient.
Mrs , Mtchaelson has been ono of
the unite violent inmates of the hos
pital. She was very much demented.
And today her mind Is very much
clearer than it was before the gall-
atone operation.
"It is not at all impossible for the
gallstone disease to affect the mind , "
juald Or. Young. "The physical dis
turbance , associated with the gall-
tjladdor disease , produces irritation
upon the nervous system which would
loud to bring out whatever tendency
.there . was in the patient toward In
sanity. And the removal of this phys
ical disturbance would thus naturally
Toliovo the mental disturbance. "
Mrs. Mlchaelsou is forty-eight years
. .of age. She is recovering nicely from
stho effects of the operation.

pel Ind to accept it.
"In tin- twenty years of Mr. Hart's
admini.itration the Institution has
waxM strong in inllnence and finan
cia ! security , and taken a position sec
rnd to none In the entire west.
"Mr. Hart some months ago begar
a canvass for a strong man to earn

found Mr. Leavltt. The board aftei
the most searching Investigatioi
