AMAZING CASE.
New Zealand Mystery Man in Hospital. DELICATE OPERATION. United Press Assn.—By Electric Tele graph—Copy right. (Received November 30, 12.30 p.m.) BRISBANE. November 30. After being in hospital for three months a mystery patient has been identified as John O'Sullivan, formerly of New Zealand. He was found lying in the street at New Farm last August and since then has lain in hospital unable to tell his identity, his memory being blank. A few da3's ago a letter was received from a young woman in New Zealand giving full details of the man and stating that for some years he has been subject to mysterious fainting attacks. The man’s condition became worse and the doctors operated, a portion of the skull being removed. „ This revealed a jelly-like substance growing over part of his brain. This apparently was pressing on the brain. The surgeons removed it and it is hoped that when the effects of the operation have worn off the man will completely recover his health and memory.
