Popular rumors of a sorceress in the Logan Square district of Chicago
led to the arrest of Mrs. Emily Elhert for practising medicine without a
license. The woman styled herself a spiritualist and claimed the ability
to heal any disease. She would make mysterious passes over her patients,
and applied an evil-smelling salve, the composition of which is not
known. Each visit cost the patient two dollars, and Mrs. Elhert is said
to have made very good money until the police interfered with her career.
