Strange Cure by Removing Dog Inside Woman at Ohio Asylum

A Dearborn County Indiana Female Inmate at the asylum improved after doctors removed a pretend pup from her stomach. The patient claimed a dog lived inside her and governed her actions, barking and demanding specific foods. A plan involved simulating the pup’s removal, which led to her vomiting the illusionary animal and gradual recovery as the dog was reimagined away. The cure drew much commentary among observers of the case.
