ons Child with broken Neck. AASsAss
with Bullet In Her Braia.
For 13 years Miss Myrtle Newhafs
Of Stroudsburg, Pa, has been living
with a bullet in her brain. She was
shot by accident when she was two
years old.
A physician, who was hastily sum
moned, probed for the bullet. but failed
10 locate it. 1t entered just above and
slightly in front OF the right ear. Ono
side of the child was paralyzed by the
shot. She could neither speak, ses
nor hear. She remained in that condi
tion for six yearA, or unit! she wao
eight years old. Then paralysis par
TALLY left her. and she was able 70 walk

to lisp the baby talk she knew bsfore

Miss Abby McCully fell from ham.
mock last September aud broke her

ago from the Post G raduate hospital,
where she has been confined since tho
Incident.
Miss McCully is the daughter OF
John v. McCully. pinpo manufacturer.
She was spending her summer vaca-
tion with an aunt in Jersey City when
the accident took place. She was
swinging by herself in hammock on
the veTanda when she suddenly lost
her balance and fell backward 70 tho
Aoor. When she wss picked up few
minutes later she was unconscious,
and the physician who was called
found that the fifth vertebra OF the
spinal column was fractured.
Little hope was entertained for her
recovery, but she was finally removed to
the Post-Grndua:e hospital. There,
after further examination of the in {.
juries, it was decided to perform an
operation. The operation was sue

Later. however. when her recovery
was almost a certainty, blood potion

long time between life ard de$th.
The blood poisoning, ii is claimed, tns
due to bruise on one OF the lower RIB,
