Henry Anderson Gets Rid OF n
BullrI.

New York. March 25.-While polishing
his shoes yesterday Henry Anderson,
Perth Amboy merchant, cOughed up a
bullet that had lodged in his head more

doctors, that had caused the trouble.
Mr. Anderson was born in Denmark fif-
ty-one years ago. When he was six
years old he was accidentally shot by
companion. He was taken to his home
and remained unconscious for several
weeks. The only thing to indicate the
track of the bullet was a slight cut in
the forehead and no effort was made to
remove the bullet.
He recovered, and thirty years ago he
errigrated to the United States. locating
at Perth Amboy The bullet in his
head did not bother him. and he even
forgot it was there. He married, and
reared a lII e family.
Anderson was milking a restless COW
three years ago, and the animal kicked
him in the forehead After that he suf-
fered from dizziness and pains between
the eyes Soon his sight began to fail
He consulted several doctors, without
obtaining any relief.
He was polishing his shoes in his store
yesterday when he felt hac;I substance
drop from the nasal cavity to his tongue.
1t was a bullet, such as is used to sloot
gees" with in Denmark. 1t had heell
embedded in the skull for more than
forty years, and was then released by the
cows kick. The bullet had worked rs
way under the skin un-i ii dropped in
the nasal cavity.
Anderson says the pains in his head
have ceased entirely, and his sight is
improving.
