GIRL A HUMAN PINCUsHION.
And Doesn't Know Where The Pins
Come From.

Paterson, n, J. Especially. - Miss
Adelina Wyckoff, Is years old, en-
ployed as a winder in a silk mill,
has been found to be a human pin
cushion. Within three days 16 pins
have been taken from her right arm
and she cannot tell how they got
there.
Miss Wyckoff first complained
about year ago of pain in her
arm. Her mother found slight
abrasion, but thought nothing of it..
Later she concluded the girl was suf-
fering from rheumatism, and applied
home remedies, but the pain continu-
ed. Finally DR.. Flood was called TO
examine the arm and he extracted a
headless pin, curved like a fishhook.
A few days ago. while the young
woman sat in her home, she suffer-
ed intense pain in her arm. She
found pin protruding. and with the
aid of scissors she removed It. More
pins made their appearance on the
surface of the arm.
DR.. Flood was again called and
before he had finished operating, 16
pins were extracted All were shaped
like the first one and blackened.
Dr.. Flood and the family of the
girl are puzzled, and are of the be-
lief that Miss Wyckoff must have
swallowed a quantity of pins when
she was young.
