AL POWELL, a live stock merchant at the
exchange, has just returned from a bospital
where he had an experience which was not
down on the bills. For a long time Powell
was troubled with severe pains in one of his
lower limbs, and he finally decided to enter
d hospitai Tor the purpose of taking a course
Oh treatment. This treatment consisted of
wrapping the limb in bandages which had
peen saturated in oil. The temperature of
the wrapping was to be kept I'D to a GER
tam point by a lamp placed under the limb.
one night the nurse left, supposing that
everything was all right, and in some wav
the lamp overturned, setting fire to the
oiled bandages. Powell did his best to at
tract attention but he was not very success
fui and a portion of the flesh on the limb
was nicely cooked before any one arrived
TO put out the fire and remove the cause.
Then came a long siege while undergoing
treatment Tor the burns. Between the two
fowell says his leg was nearly cured, but
ne doesn't want to go back there again and
run the chance of being cremated.
