EXTRAORDINARY MORTALITY

A child about two years old died recent
Iy in England, from loss Of blood arising
from a slight confusion Of an upper gum
The child fell against chair, and cut its
gum, but not severely. The wound con.
unued to bleed, Notwithstanding the most
strenuous endeavors of the surgeons to
s'aunch ii, ill the third day sner The acc.
dent, when the child died. The London
paper, in which we find the account Of this
singular occurrence, states that sixteen in.
divlduaIs Of the family 10 which the child
belonged had bled 10 DEATH not one of them
having been seriously injured, the bu,ts
which gave rise to the bleeding having gen,
eraNy been slight cuts, or bruises by falls.
Some bled to DEAN from teeth being drawn.
Medical aid had always been Inc iIecuual. In
The case Of the child, the opinion of HE SUI.
