Boy Got a Piece
Glass in His Ear

The little son of John Kozak, of
South Shore. was brought to town
Sunday to receive treatment for ear
trouble which had developed serious
symptoms. 1t seems that some months
ago the little fellow through acci-
tdent got piece of broken glass in his
ear. Altho the glass was not removed
..at the time there was apparently no
trouble resulting until about week
ago when serious nervous symptoms
appeared and meningitis developed.
.On Sunday DR.. Hill performed an op.
,eration removing the particle Of glass
which had worked itself through the
cir drum and was lodged close to the
brain. The operation was successful
and although a very sick boy it is
hoped he will now show rapid i'm
