THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPHPH1LADELPII1A : SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1870. MISTAKEN IDENTITY. 'Whether I am I, is a question which most cf us can answer with tolerable confidence; and yet it has puzzled physicians and meta physician very considerably. We are told that all the material particles, all the carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and so forth composing the human body, change in the conrse of a certain number of years; they enter into new combinations. Materially or corporeally speaking,''. I am not the same man that I was ten years ago. My bodily weight is made Tip of wholly different par ticles, and I am not I; the I of 1870 is not the same as the I of 1800; 1 am another man altogether. As to the metaphysicians, they have so mystified the world with the synthesis of the I with the non I, the Ion with the non.Ich, the ego with the non ego, that nobody can make anything of the mat ter. There waH a very good plan adopted, according to lyrical authority, by the little old woman who fell asleep on the king's . highway. Being bewildered with a trick which bad been played by a peddler, named Stent, she resolved to make use of her little dog as a test-proof of her personal identity, an honest witness to show whether she was really herself or not. She stated the case thus: If 1 be I, As I do hope I be, 1 have a little dog at home, Aud he knows me. And then proceeds to argue: If 1 be I. He ll wiig his little tall; Hut If I ie not I, i He ll bark ami wall. v The question of personal identity often re solves itself into a mere case of imposture, the case of pretending to be what we are not, for the attainment of certain ends by indirect means. This is a famous instrument in the hands of the dramatist. Many and many a plot, good, bad, and indifferent, tarns upon some machination of this kind. The audience are sometimes kept in the dark tmtil the very last sceue; whereas in other instances the dramatist prefers to let them into the secret at once. In Scribe's opera of the Crown Diamonds, so pleasantly be jewelled with sparkling music by Auber, the veritable Queen of Spain pretends to be h, brigand's daughter; and her lover, innocent fellow, has not the slightest suspicion of the real truth until the dazzling scene of the throne-room in the last act. Again, in Lord Lytton's Lady of Lyons, we (the audience) know all about the circum stances which drove the gardener's son to the personation of an Italian prince, and the agony which Pauline De-ichapellos suffered when she discovered the chuat; but as Claude Melnotte, much to the satisfaction of every body, is a good felldw at heart, everythiug turns out well in the end. The records of courts of justice present multiplied instances more or less allied to this in character. Bamfylde Moore Carew (if his history be trustworthy, which is doubtful) was a famous example of the bold, unscrupulous personator. He could so change the expression of his features, the arrangement of his hair, the apparent balk of bis person, the bend or curve of his shoulders, the Bhape of his legs, his mien or gait, and his general appearance, as to de ceive everybody. On one occasion he so pricked his hands and face, and so effec tually rubbed in gunpowder and bay-salt, as to appear exactly like a man Buffering se verely from smallpox; thereby averting im pressment as a seaman. When in America, and dressed as a Quaker, he deceived all the real Quakers in Philadelphia. On one occasion, as a gentleman unknown in the neighborhood, he visited Colonel Straage wajs. The conversation turned upon the notorious Bamfylde Moore Carew. The colonel said ho knew him well, and would never allow himself to be deceived as other Sersons had been. The real Bamfylde, an our or two afterwards, betook himself to a gipsy haunt known to him in the neigh borhood, and underwent a most thorough personal transformation. He appeared at the colonel's house as a wretched object, all rags and tatters, leaning on crutches, displaying a counterfeit wound on the leg, and uttering piteous moans, lie received charity from the colonel, who did not sus pect the trick. Bamfylde again appeared as a gentleman guest at the colonel s table that evening, and announced what ha had done. Bamfylde, who was well-known at Mr. Portman's, near Blandford, appeared there one day as a rat-catcher, and after creating great amusement by his cleverness, was addressed by a Mr. Pleydell, who ex pressed pleasure at meeting the celebrated Mr. Carew, whom he had never seen before. 'Yes, you have," says rtamfylde; who an nounced that he was a certain wretched beg gar to whom Mr. Fleydell had given charity a few days before. Upon a declaration that such a deception would not pass undetected a second time, Bamfylde accepted the chal lenge. Next day, Mr. Pley dell's servants were called out to an old woman,' who was leaning . on a crutch, and dragging along three miserable chil dren; she was so importunate, and the children were to noisy, that the master came out, spoke to her, gave her money, and sent her away. It was not known that Bamfylde and the old woman were one person until he announced the fact at Mr. Pleydell's table that same evening. So it was everywhere; whether as a shipwrecked mariner, a Kentish farmer impoverished by floods, or a clergy man brought to distress by unavoidable calamities, this strange man's disguise is de scribed as all but impenetrable. The touching story of the Beauty of Bat termere presents an example of personation for fraudulent purposes. In 1792 a volume was published, under title of "A Fortnight's Ramble," giving an account of a visit to the Lake district of Cumberland. The toarist, at the little inn at liuttermere, was waited upon by a young girl of exquisite beauty, fourteen or fifteen years of age; and he wrote as he felt, about finding such a girl under so humble a roof. When he went again, a few years afterwards, be found her a full-grown woman, more lovely than ever. He also saw evidences that his book had attracted visitors to the spot; for there were scribbled verses on the walls . of the inn, not only in English, but in French, Latin, and Greek, all in praise of the reigning beauty of the Lakes. In 1802 the inn was visited by the (so-called) Honorable Colonel Hope, brother og the Earl of Ilopetoun; a handsome man, with a very winning address. He proposed to Mary and was accepted. Not long after the marriage, he fell into the meshes of the law, and proved to be a man named Hatfield, who bad committed forgery, bigamy, aud a long list of other crime?, which brought him to the scaffold. Ileal similarity of form and features, with out any attempt at fraud or daceptiou, is a different thing from the kind of per. donation above adverted to. Shukespeare made exoellent use of it in his ever-fresh VuimO u of Errors. But concerning remark able likeresKfH, it Hhonld always h born ii icicd that two people who teem wonderfully alike apart, will usually be found, when they are brought together, to be very little alike, or very much less so than was honestly sup posed. Medical men are aware of the co-existence of persons bearing a marvellous resemblance one to another; and bo are judges and barris ters. Disputed cases of the kind are by no means uncommon. Early in the present cen tury there were two men, Hoag and Parker, so exactly or bo nearly alike that it was no easy matter to know which was which. One of them, a rogue, benefited by this resem blance. Being apprehended for some crimi nal offense, and placed at the bar, some of the witnesses swore that the man before them was Hoag; others swore that he was Parker: as the benefit of the doubt generally goes with the accused in such cases, the man was acquitted. Very considerable embarrassment some times arises at coroners' inquests, owing to the difficulty of settling the identity of the deceased person. Three cases out of several may be selected to show how honest persons may be self-deceived. There was an instance in 1817, in which the dead body of a woman was found tied to a boat, drawn up near Greenwich. At an in quest consequently held, an old man came forward and swore that the deceased was his daughter, the wife of an ' out-pensioner. He described a fierce quarrel which had taken place between the married couple, and in which he had interfered to avert serious consequences; they left his house together, and he had not since seen the woman. Other persons also swore that the deceased was the old mau's daughter. The police were set upon the track of the husband, who was away; but they suddenly lighted upon the wife her self, alive and well ! The old man and his neighbors were all surprised at this fact; the Coroner severely reprimanded them for the blunder they had made; but it was admitted that the personal resemblance between the two women was considerable, even to the ex istence of a mark on one arm. The deceased body was not identified; nor was it known whether the death was by murder or by suicide. In lKiit!, the coroner of Burton-on-Trent held an inquest on the body of a man found in the river near the town. Two respectable men, who came to view the body, at once announced it to be that of a brother of theirs, who had been for a short time missing from home. Their statement was believed, their claim allowed; and they were permitted to bury the body in Burton-on-Trent church yard. The inquest was adjourned, in the hope of obtaining additional evidence as to the cause of death. When the jury reassem bled, they were surprised to see the real brother enter the room, alive and well. There seems to have been no collusion here: the re latives had been deceived by a great likeness; and the parish repaid them the cost of the luneral. In this, as in the last-mentioned instance, failure attended all the attempts made to identify the dead body, or to ascer tain the cause of death. Perhaps the Hackney Wick case, which riveted public attention in 18G8, was one of the most remarkable on record in regard to the persistency with which . several persons averted an identity, under circumstances which would have necessitated a particular man being three or four different men at one time. There were some half -finished houses near the Hackney Wick, or Victoria Park, station of the North London Railway. The builder, having determined to finish them, went to one of the houses in April of the above-named year, opened it, and perceived a very offensive odor in the passages and kitchen. A little search brought to light a dead body in a large cupboard under the stairs. The state of the body denoted that death must have occurred two or three months before. There was a scar over one ey throw, such as might Lave been occasioned by a fall or a bruise. The clothes were good, but a little blood-stained; and an additional odd boot was found dear the body. An empty phial, labelled "laudanum: poison," was on a shelf in the cupboard, with only just sufficient liquid in it to permit of cbemioal analysis. The person appeared to have been about thirty-five years old, and five feet sir inches high. At an inquest, shortly after wards held, a carpenter deposed that, in the preceding month of February, he had seen a gentlemanly-looking man sitting ou a heap of building materials near the un finibhed houses, cutting up little bits of wood, as a boy might do who was making a boat. He. gave strange and incoherent answers to some questions put to him; but, as be was quiet and inoffensive in man ner, aad was not seen again, the incident went out of recollection. But now ensued the extraordinary episode of conflicting identification. The carpenter,' on seeing the dead body, at once declared it to be that of . the poor demented gentleman whom he had seen two months earlier. A lady came forward, and described a brother of hers who had been missing from his home for some months. He had another sister, who lived at Hackney Wick, thojgh his own residence was elsewhere. On seeing the dead body, she pronounced it to be either veritably her brother, or very much like him. This ladys testimony was not incom patible with that of the carpenter; but the complication was now to come. A lady and gentleman came forward to state that a man had deserted his wife and family about eigh teen months previously, taking away two thousand pounds' worth of property with him; they produced a photogTaph, which struck those who saw it as possessing much resemblance to the features of the deceased person. But while this incident was under consideration, the friends of an emigrant ap peared, stating that be had returned from New Zealand and then disappeared. Nothing was done however, towards identifying the body in this quarter. Dr. Ellis, physician to St. Luke's Hospital, stated in evidence that on the night of the 1st of February a lunatic named Heasman had escaped from the hospital in Old street, in a most extra ordinary way, seeing that he must have passed through six locked doorways, climbed up a wall fifteen feet high, and jumped or dropped on the pavement outside. Heas man, however, was a Btrong active ina, of thirty.five or forty years of age, and might posbibly have accomplished what would be beyond the muscular powers of most men. Dr. Ellis, when he ' saw the dead body, at once pronounced it to be that of Heasuiau, wearing the same . clothes as . he had worn at the hospital. On examining an old boot found near the body, the name of Harnett was Been written on the lining. Dr. Ellis said that there was a man named Harnett lodged im one of the fix rooms through which the lunbtio must have paused in effecting his es cape. Strong as this testimony was, a lady, who had heard Dr. Ellis give his evidence, nevertheless insisted that the deceased was her husband, who had been missing for some time; she' especially identified a peouliar mark on one of the lingers. Not enmo a witness who virinorfd th ' View Iuacu ly hi. Xma. A LuwujvX oi ucm- man stated that the unfortunate man, though sane on most subjects, had for many years been under an hallucination that he had been Eoisoned, and waa now dead speaking of imself in the past tense. He wan married, and bad a family of eight children. He bad been an inmate of St. Luke's about eighteen months. Like Dr. Ellis, this brother be lieved the deceased to have been the lunatic Heasman. In spite of all this, however, a new witness, Mrs. Mary Anne Banks, dis tinctly Bwore that the deceased waa her hus band. He was a commercial traveller, who had been for some time missing. She stated that there was a general resemblance both in form and features. She described (before seeing the body) a very peculiar mark which her husband had on one of his fingers; and the deceased had exactly such a mark. Her sisters, two married women, cor robated her assertion that the deceased was her husband Banks also comparing the fingers, the features, the general contour of face, the beard, the moustache, the chest, the shoulders, all tallied. Whale the jury, utterly bewildered, were considering this evidenoe, another lady came forward, and showed a photograph of a missing gentleman, much more resembling the deceased than that which had been produced from St. Luke's. Mrs. Banks, and Mr. Heasman's brother, both appeared on a subsequent occasion, and each insisted on the truth of the respective stories told. Cumulative testimony, how ever, was forthcoming in support, of the St. Luke's incident. Mrs. Heasman, wife of the unfortunate man, not only corro borated the, identity, but stated that the name of Heasman, found on some of the deceased man's nnder-olothing, was written by herself, and that the dark-blue trousers were the same which she had stitched with the aid of a sewing-machine. Dr. Ellis, once more, found that the deceased had lost a tooth, exactly corresponding in position with one lost by Heasman. The coroner could not discern that any of the witnesses would benefit by the death of the deceased; he gave them all credit for being sincere, however certain it was that some of them must have been mistaken. The jury, after a patient investigation, agreed with the coro ner, that the deceased was the lunatic Heas man; bnt they could not find how he had come by his death, although they believed he had poisoned himself.

Numerous eminent physicians and suigeons might be named who have advocated their employment in the treatment of a large class of disorders. No Dispensary is considered complete witnont them. Tb.j are prescribed In all pnblio and private hospitals, and administered by all bedside practitioners. But the difficulty has been to obtain Alcoholic Liquors Fare. Tfce pungent aroma of the fusel oil and biting acids pre sent in all of them can be scented as the glass is raised to the lips. The nauseous flavor ef these active poisons is perceptible to the palate, and a burning sensation in the stomach attests their existence when the noxious draught has gone down. Paralysis, idiocy, insanity and death are the pernicious fruits of such potations. Medical science asks tor a pure stimulant to use as a specific which, while it diffuses itself through the system more rapidly than any other known agent, is brought into direct and active contact with the seat of disease. It is the property of the stimulant to diffuse, and by the aid of its peculiar nutritious component parts to invigorate, n sulate, counteract and restore, and it is by the happy union of the principle of activity with the principle of in vigoration and restoration that enables a FHUU WlllrSKY ' To accomplish beneficial results.
