In his letter he remarked that the Catholic Apologetics lay down the principle thnt a ph1:: no1nenon may only thus be treated ns a miracl e when science has proved unable to explain it according to fixed incontrovertible la,vs. The Germania, a leading paper of the extreme Roman Catholic party, is so;convinced th at · miracle has occurred, that it also appeals to Prof. Vircbow. It asks him why he does not make the phenomena the ·ubject of careful atudy, and tells him he would find an occnpatiun in the exaznination of this case M 1ikely to pron1ote the interests of science as anythiag he could do in Sweden or Norway ; referring, no doubt, to hjs presence at an Arcbroological Congress at Stockholm. Prof. Vi re how treats the case us one of a class familiar to him. He does not think it '\'oulU be of eo m'..lch service to scienc0 as the Qerm.a nia beiieves to visit Bois d'Haine. He has been 16 or 17 years physician to the department for sick prisonete at Berlin, and knows very many kin de of si mulntion, Oue case has co111e llnder his notice of ceaeing to take nourishment, in which the whole sup· ply of food was cousumed in an extraordin· ary manner.
