OUT OF DANGER.
Successful Operation Performed on
Mrs. Augustine Sanchez.
CASE OF UNUSUAL INTEREST.

Mrs. Augustin Sanchez. of Barelas,
who met with peculiar accident,
which resulted in an arrested birth, is
getting along nicely after having been
successfully operated upon for lhe re.
moval of the dead child.
The case is of unusual interest from
the fact that such accidents usually
precipitates the birth of the child at
the time of the accident. In this case,
the woman carried the dead child foi
nearly four months without having
manifested any very decided symptoms
to indicate what had happened to her.
The accident is directly traceable to
a fright which Mrs. Sanchez exper.
fenced four months ago upon suddenly
entering a room and finding a man
lying dead upon bed.
These cases of so-called maternal
impressions are not unusual in medi-
instance this particular case possesses
features of more than ordinary inter-
est in medical science.
The woman's husband, who is en-
ployed at the local railway shops, con-
suited with DR.. Crosson, who recog-
nized the condition, and successfully
operated upon her. Mrs. Sanchez is
reported up and around, and her neigh
boring friends are pleased to report
her out of all danger.
