GHOSTLY VISITORS.
To the Editor. Dear Sir.—Samuel Lain" relates the following case which may not be with out interest to those “eccentrics” who nightly converse with the dead:— “There was a celebrated case of a Berlin bookseller in the last century, who, having fallen into bad health lived for more than a year in the company of ghosts—that is, he constantly saw men and _ women, with every appearance of being alive, enter the room and come and go as if they had been ordinary visitors. Being a man of a scientific turn of mind, he never supposed that these were really ghosts, but reasoned on them and recorded his experiences. Instead of sending for a priest and resorting to exorcisms, he called in a physician and took a course of medicine, with the result that after a considerable time the ghostly visitors gra'dually became dim and finally disappeared.”—l am, etc., G.R.B.
