An Extraordinary Case.

An extraordinary Case.
a most extraordinary natural ncci-
dent, and one for tho discussion Of
I phyhlcians, came 10 light short time
ago at Louisyillc, KY, in which a needle
taken into tho foot Of lady nine wears
ago worked out Of the thigh Of her third
/ child-a baby Of one year. The lady in
question Is the wife of Mr.. Harry bsaacs.
a cigarmaker, who lives on Market
street, near Wenzel At the time Of
/ the accident Mrs Iaacs was unmarried.
and was then Miss Pauline Coblcns.
The needle was encountered in a car.
pet and penetrated her foot the full
length. 4 physician was called in i'm
mediately, but the needle could not be
found, although il was known
to be in the foot. She suffered great
pain and for four months was unable
to leave her bed. During that period
three physicians made frequent at
tcmpts TO extract the needle. and the
knife was used extensively, however,
without success Miss Coblcns was
quite ileshy before the accident, but fell
on greatly from her long confinement.
At length she was able to get about
with the aid Of crutchcs, but she contin-
ned to suffer from the needle. The
pain decreased gradually and she re-
gained her former heshincas. Finally
she felt tho needle only a! periods
when there Was a change in the weather.
The movement Of the needle seemed to
be upward, and the point was not sta
Ionary, but moved with tho needle.
About five years ago she was narrisd 10
Mr.. Harry Isaacs. Three children arc

Books, of corrse, are for n long time OF
no avail, and object teaching, pictnres
