SHE SWALLOWED A HORNET.

stuns Mrs. Walters on the TonsiI, De-
privlng Her of Speech.
Mrs. Mary Walters, Of Bridgeport, Conn.,,
an accomplished vocalist and a member Of
an East Bridgeport church choir, was eating
a pear when she swallowed a hornet that had
alighted on the fruit. In going down her
throat the insect stung her on the tonsil.
Great pain followed and in short time
the woman's throat had swollen 80 that it
was impossible for her to swallow. She was
in great agony when Dr.. James L. Bragg ar
rived. About an hour after the hornet had
stung her Mrs. Walters became very hoarse
and a short time afterward lost the power OF
speech. Her throat seemed paralyzed. Dr..
Bragg relieved her from pain, but her voice
did not return.
The swelling has gone down somewhat,
but the power of speech has not returned.
DR.. Bragg says he does not expect a per-
manent loss Of speech, but considers the case
most remarkable and Of great interest to the
medical fraternity. Only one similar case Is
recalled, and that occurred In the northern
part OF Connecticut several years ago.
