After carrying three bullets in his
head for f~orty-seven years, Fran
els Rogers, civil war veteran,
elected them from his los during
a fit of violent sneezing. He was
shot in the had at Antietam with
buckshot during a charge upon
the Confederate lines, and several
waunded. He recovered, al
though the surgeons did not ex-
tract the bullets. They have
been in the front portion of his
head since and have often caused
terrific headaches, but physicians
did not like to probe for them be-
cause they lay SO close to the op-
tic nerves. They have gradually
been working themselves about,
but Rogers had no idea they were
to come out until they appeared.

prevails, says that a large element Of

he is sick, and this realization so acts
upon the mind that it becomes open
