]. N. Webster had one of his fingers
crushed three years ago, injuring it quite
badly, and since that time it has given
him considerab BILE trouble. He had it ex-
amined by several physicians who told
him that part of the bone was splintered
off and should be taken out. When in
Boston recently he had the finger examin-
ed by means of the X-rays which showed
that there was some foreign substance
causing, the trouble. An incision was
made and black, hard substance about
the size of large buck shot was removed.
The physician could not tell what it was
but is to be analysed later. AS the sub
stance was some little distance from W here
the bone was thought to be injured it was
fortunate that it was first located before
the incision was made.
