HER HAND SAVED BY THE x-RAY.
Cause of IA Dangerous Swelling Dis
covered by Mrs. Hackman's Ply
siCiRn.

EFFINGHAM, H., Dec. 12-Quite a succees-
full experiment was made in this city today
with the X ray. Several weeks ago Mrs. A.
H. Hackman. sister to DR.. Henry Eversman,
cashier of Eversman, Wood & Engbring's
bank, experienced a sudden and painful
swelling of the left hand, which progressed
until today when it was feared amputation
was necessary.
This afternoon the attending physician took
his patient to the Illinois College of Photog-
raphy of this city and had President Bissell
subject the hand to the effects of the X
ray, which quickly disclosed and located the
trouble. The rays disclosed a sewing needle
deeply imbedded in the flesh adjacent to the
lower bone of the thumb. Her hand was ter
ribly swollen. The rays penetrated three or
four inches into the flesh and disclosed the
needle in two sections.
Prof. Bissell took photograph of the hand
with the imbedded needle and has 1t on ex-
hibition. The surgeons will now have no
trouble in removing the needle, and thus save
the hand and perhaps the life of the patient

Besides the minerals there are numerous
areas Of magnificent agricultural lands
available chiefly for growing wheat, cats,
barley and other cereals and veg, tables. The

pronounced the December condition almost
perfect and had reported an Increase OF 8
per cent in the area. There had been large
deliveries Of cash grain by Armour; there
had been no new appearance of export de-
mand and there had been continued dwin-
