GLASS ENTERS BRAIN
BUT GIRL WILL LIVE
[By Associated Press.l

NEW YORK, Oct. 8.-Although the
point of large silver of glass pierced
her skull and entered the brain. it is
believed that Blanche Goldstein, Is
years old, of Brooklyn will lose neith-
er life nor reason, as the result of an
operation performed by surgeons at
St. Mary's hospital.
The remarkable vitality of the child
was taken advantage of by the doctors,
and tumor at the base of the brain
was removed and the wound closed
antiseptically and the brain covering
brought together. The puncture in the
skull was small and it will be easily
trepanned.
The child was playing in front of her
home last Friday when a large pane
of glass was dislodged from a window
on the third floor of the house. 1t
crashed edgew1se on her head, a sharp
fragment entering the top of her head.
The girl fell unconscious and cut her
chin and face severely on fragments of
the glass on the sidewalk.
Upon the removal of the gathering
on the brain the little girl, who had
been semi conscious since the accident,
frightened up perceptibly and asked
that her parents be brought to her.
She recognized them at once upon their
arrival The doctors predict a complete
recovery,

losis have been cured and discharged,
