No WONDER He COULDN'T BREATHE FREELy-
The Centrevlle Obseruer relates the following
For some time past Mr.. John B. Brown has no.
breathed with difficulty, but it WAS supposed
that he had contracted cold, and no serious at
tention was paid to the matter. Frequently the
little fellow. aged about years, would protrude
his tongue to aid him in his respiration, but
this was believed to be a bad habit he was con-
tracing, and his parents endeavored to break
him from it. On Tuesday night last however,
on visiting tho little fellows room, Ills parents
discovered mucus passing from one Of his nos
trils, and feeling some alarm, called in DR.. Bord-
ley tho next morning, who upon examination
found an obstruction in the nostril, which he
proceeded to remove. and which proved to be a
sheet-iron shoe-button with shank. The but
ton has been in the childs nose for some two or
three months and must have given him consider
able trouble.
