William Feumeister, 10 years old, of No
Morris place. Some time ago the boy
fell and struck his forehead against ia
bic leg. The wound healed, but ever since
William has been having periodical nose
beeds, and singularly enough, always on
Wednesday, Then it was noticed that the

his system. They are not sure that the
wound on his forehead was the real cause
of the purpura acknowledged.
