Pin Scratch on Hand Fatal.

After almost week of extreme
suffering, caused from blood poison
ing, Mrs. Margaretha Thoma, OF
Garnayillo passed away Saturday
afternoon. About two weeks ago the
lady accidentally scratched the back
of one of her hands with pin. The
scratch at the time was mere trifle
and was given no further thought by
her until few days later when the
hand began to swell and cause more
or less pain. A physician was called
and found it necessary to lance the
hand, but desired results did not
follow and twice later the lance was
employed, and still no relief came to
her sufferings, but instead the wound
continued to grow worse and the
swelling commenced extending into
the arm. Everything possible was
done to allay the pain and comfort
her in her uncomfortable suffering. but
nothing could be administered that
would combat with the situation and
the result was death came as relief
after nearly a week of incessan,
torture.
