Foreign BODIES In the Flesh.

It is not an uncommon thing for people
to carry needles, pins, bullets and bits of
steel around with them for half a lifetime,
but no one can be found who would be
willing voluntarily to undertake such a
burden. And yet there are instances where
articles which might seem to be of a most
dangerous character have been carried in
the body for years. A man, in repairing
a building, fell through a window, break
ing the glass and severely cutting one Of
his arms The wound was carefully and
antiseptically dressed, and the man went
about his business. Three years later he
called upon the doctor who had attended
him and complained Of a boil on his wrist
The physician casually mentioned the in
jury which he had sustained and asked
him if he suffered any onvenience from
it. He ausw cred, No, not much" but
said that at times there Yves a peculiar sen
sation between the elbow and shoulder
Upon examination the doctor found a long
splinter of glass just ready to prick through
the skin st a point several inches above
the place where it had originally entered
The glass was drawn out, the wound prop
erly dressed, and the man recovered, there
after being entirely free from the annoy
ing sharp pains to which he had for years
been subject. New York Ledger
