before with their united efforts an i'm
provement was noted. No burns could
be found upon his body and the physi-
clans could find no evidences OF the man
having received an electric current. They
gave their opinion that the mans condi-
tion might have been brought on by the
small amount OF current that can be re-
ceived by grasping the call bell handle
and the receiver hook. which might have
so frighted him that his nerves gave way.
