THE
MYSTERIES OF MONTREAL;
BEING
RECOLLECTIONS
OF A
FEMALE PHYSICIAN.
BY CHARLOTTE FUHRER
Truth is Stranger than Fiction
MONTREAL
INTRODUCTION
During a long practice of over thirty years I have seen many things
enacted here in this city of Montreal which, if told with the skill
of a Dumas or a Collins, might not only astonish but startle the
sedate residents of this Church-going community. I have often, while
waiting for the advent of a little midnight visitor, beguiled the
weary hours with a narrative of some of my experiences, and have
been amused at the expression on the faces of my fair patients when
told that my memory, and not my imagination, had been drawn upon for
materials. Enquiry having frequently been made as to whether my
recollections were published, I have been induced to print this
volume, changing only names of persons and localities, so as to
avoid identification. Many persons will find it hard to believe some
of the occurrences which are herein mentioned, but those who have
been concerned (directly or indirectly) with any of the parties to
my narratives, will recognize, under the disguise of a false name,
some person with whose history they are familiar.
