a lifetime, but ~ one can be found
who would lie willing voluntarily TO

there are Instances where articles

gcrous character have been carried in

breaking the glass and severely cutting
one of his arms The wound was care
fully and subsequently, dressed, and
the man went about his business.
Three years later he called upon the
doctor who had attended him and com
planned of Il boil on his wrist. The
physician casually mentioned the in
jury which he had sustained and asked
him if he suffered any Inconvenience
from it, He answered. NO. not much
but said that at times there was pc
Culiar sensation between the elbow
and shoulder. Upon examination the
doctor found long splinter of glass
just ready to prick through the skin ut
point several inches above the place
where it had originally entered. The
glass was drawn out, the wound prop
erly dressed, and the man recovered,
thereafter being entirely free from the
annoying sharp pains to which he had
for years been subject.
