her to return home at the expiration OF
five weeks where she stayed until the
following August. She then went tO
jamestown. N. Y. where she remained
until Oct. 23rd. During that time the
injured member was examined. diverse
opinions being rendered, but all agreed
that exercise would do the injury no
harm. Anxious to again return to her
work she went to Rome, N. Y, and at
the end OF six weeks had her limb ex-
amined under X-rays which disclosed a
serious condition. due to exercising too
soon. She then went TO the city hos

for many weeks, during which time an
operation will be performed and electric

been singularly unfortunate. She Is
nearly five hundred miles from home
