Freaks of Anatomy In Westville Autopsy.

After an illness of less than a half hour, Mrs. Anna Augustine, of Westville, aged 21, died. The death seemed very peculiar and a postmortem examination revealed strange abnormal formations of the internal organs which would have caused the death of an ordinary human less than two minutes. Her left lung, which the physicians had trouble in locating, was no larger than a small lemon. The right lung was about one-quarter normal size and the heart one-half normal size. The liver was many times the normal size, extending to the fourth rib and well up into the shoulder. Mrs. Augustine had always been in good health and in spite of the deformity of her internal organs due to toxaemia, death was entirely normal.
