DR.. W. I. Weir who lives near Clinton In
Laurcns county has 4 very peculiar case IN.
der treatment which has so far baffled all
medical skill, and puzzled the fraternity.
The case is q little SON OF his about three
years Old. and Is one OF tho afflicted that de-
serves the sympathics OF all people. He has
had one leg br0k ell four times, the other,
three; one arm twice broken, the other three
times. Has had his collar bone fractured and
many severe bruises about II , head, toes and
fingers, incident to n child learning to walk.
Some physicians argue that his bones are too
soft, others that they are too hard. One pc.
culiarity is that the little fellow Is able TO
walk without the aid Of crutchcs, in about
two weeks after the bones have been set,
while ordinarily 1t takes fractures months
to knit together. Quite recently he had both
legs In SplintS at the same time. The Doctor
would like to have the opinion Of any physi.
