 l Buried Arm.
 The arm which Homer Bronson lost a. hi l shop in Waterbury, August 7, was careful.
 buried in his fathers garden. A day or two
 afterwards Mir. Bronson complained that th' ! arm felt tired and cramped. It was exhumec
 and shifted to a different position, the pa
 tient experiencing instant relief. Twice ha
 the severed limb been thus ex
 humed for the purpose of altering it's posi-
 tion, and relief given to the sufferer in eacl
 instance. Although MT. Bronson no 1 aware of the precise moment when the arn
 was shifted, yet he felt each movement a
 distinctly as if it was still portion of hi
 an .tomy. It is said that one will suffe
 more or less pain and inconvenience from
 dismembered limb until the tissues have com
 pletely decomposed.
