THE CALIGRApM

Several years ago an &C.
quaintance In helping her out Of car
riage broke her collar bone. At soon
as 1t had healed one of her arms
broke while some one was assisting her
from vehicle. A little later her other
arm dropped helpless at her side when
she attempted to make some use of it.
After great deal of trouble both of
the fractures were reunited, but in
little while oneof her arms was broken
in another place, the last time by the
sufferer merely lifting a sugar bowl.
Thus matters have run along for sew
eral years, the unfortunate woman
breaking one of her limbs every little
while. The disease is gradually
spreading and is now reducing
the bones of her legs to chalk. The
greatest care is exercised TO prevent
the sufferer making use of her limbs.
She is carefully lifted about and is
moved around in an invalid's chair.
Physicians say If she should fall from
her chair or have an unusual shock,
all o. the bones Of her body from her
knees would snap into small frag-
ments, and, of course, her death would
pnailp.
