a needle which was unknowingly LETT
therein, into the palm of her left hand.
Efforts to remove the same were upsuc.

pain the wound healed. Mrs. X. could
always tell the position of the needle
and it sometimes proved quite a hinder
ance in performing certain kinds of
work. Last week d small pimple made
it's appearance on the wrist of the left
arm which gradually enlarged and
when opened, the cause of its appearance
was found TO be the broken needle,
which was then drawn out. The need
