into the history of the case and
learned that years ago, while pursuing
her business as a milliner, she was in
the habit Of filing her mouth with

one memorable day while she was do
ing her stunt as a human pincushion
some one spoke to her, and in replying
she inyoluntarily drew in her breath
and swallowed the pins, but never
heard of them afterwards. She con-
cluded her story by inquiring:
Now, doctor, do you think that has
anything to do with the present dis

liberately, Il do not like to venture a
rash opinion, but it strikes me that

a stomach that is as well pinned up"
