| Mrs. T. A. Thomas of John street
broke a blood vessel in her ankle Sat
| urday and but for the timely arrival of
| a physician, would have lost her life
Mr.. Thomas had just returned from the
Hammond hospital where he was suf-
| fering with blood poison. His wife
was performing her household duties
when she finally discovered that she
was standing in a pool Of blood. The
| frightened husband ran for the family
physician, saying that his wife was
| bleeding to death. Upon the arrival of
DR.. Doolittle, it was discovered that a
blood vessel had been broken in her
ankle, which was superinduced by
overwork. The loss of blood was very
great, but aside from extreme weak
ness, the unfortunate woman is re-
covering. The Thomas family are
surely one of the most unfortunate in
Whiting. Within the last six months
every member of the family consisting
of three children and the parents, have
had typhoid fever, the mother having
| two attacks, and Mr.. Thomas himself
| has been unable to secure employment
Just when they thought the silver lin
ing of a dark cloud was appearing, Mr.
Thomas. while moving his lawn,
scratched his hand. from which a Sc
we're case of blood poison was the re-
suit. The exact day Mr.. Thomas re-
turned from the hospital the mother
met with her terrible experience, but
1t is considered very fortunate that he
was on hand or she surely would not
have survived.
