A REMARKABLE MALADY
YOUTH COULD NOT EAT EGGS. The suicide of Bartan Fay, an 18-ycar-old freshman at Harvard, who ended his life at his home at Worcester, was clue to the fact, that any food which contained eggs nauseated him, says a Central News message from Cambridge (Mass). The malady from which tiie young man suffered so preyed upon his mind that he became mentally unbalanced. According to his father, lie could noL eat sweets, cake, ice-cream, or anything that contained eggs, because once such substances touched his mouth he became nauseated, and the effects often showed on his skin. He could not explain to his class-mates why he was so often forced to leave the tabic, and that evidently affected his mind. His peculair illness was kept from his mother, and his father had him treated by specialists, with the result that recently he had seemed to be improving.
