Mr.. Sherman, al ominous frown on

Miss Sarah Sco1e OF Tall River Is Suffer
ing From n Singular Disease.
Five years ago Miss Sarah Scott Of
Fall River was Budding into woman
hood that promised an exceptional ex-
ample of feminine beauty. To-day she
is bedridden invalid in whom every
physician in New England is taking an
interest. She is suffering from osteo-
malacia, n rare disease of the bones.
Her parents were both healthy, and
they have another daughter who enjoys
n beautiful face and q splendid physique.
About IS months ago Miss Scott COM
planned of a peculiar soreness in her left
thigh. While about to step on a train
her thigh bone snapped at the sore spot,
and she was carried into a hospital
The manner of the breaking was 80
simple that the examining physician s
curiosity was at once aroused. After
some of the most expert men had look
ed into the details it was decided that
amputation was necessary to prolong
the girls life. Her nerves were in a
shattered condition, bit tho amputation
was successful. 1t was oted at the time
that the bone was of very unusual
composition, but no such results as have
followed We're expected.
After the wound had been dressed
and while she was being turned in a
hospital bed the doctors and nurses
| were astounded by the breaking of a
bore in her right thigh almost in the
| exact spot where amputatrOn had been
| performed on the other leg.
The fracture was treated immediate.
| ~, and for eight months the girl re.
manned at the institution under the care
of physicians who studied the case anx
iously. Then the broken limb healed
and the girl was taken home. Her gen
eral health did not improve, and she be
came great care to her relatives. One
of the surgeons at 4 Boston hospital
who knew of her case, settled in Fal
River some months ago and made ;
close study of the disease as it developed

crutches, the right thigh bone agaiI
snapped about where it was previousl.
broken. That necessitated total con
finement to her bed. A few weeks late
she was trying to chew a small piece O
meat when her left jawbone broke.
This caused noticeable swelling
and her pretty features now look dis
torted. Two weeks ago she was tryin
to fix a pillow under her head, usin
her left arm to push it into place. Sh
hadn't reached her hand to the back c
her head before the bones of the arr

She now lies on her back nursing
