HTS NECK BROKEN
SAYS& FEELS FINE
NEW YORK

NEW YORK Special Harry
Brown walked "Wednesday from the
City Hospital. Newark, N. =. To his
homo at % Halsey Street Four
weeks ago he was taken from his
home TO the hospital in an ambulance
with his neck broken at the second
vertebra- Wednesday night he de-
clared he felt as IL no mishap had
ever befailen him. and the surgeons
who discharged him said there was
every reason TO expect that he would
Keep on feeling so.
On October 18th Brown, who is
sixteen years old, was playing ball in
Washington Place, near his home. He
was running to a base. on the curb.
when an automobile. driven by Fred
erick w. Robertson, OF 2S North
Eighteenth Street, East Orange, came
along. Brown ran directly In front
of it and was Knocked down. a front
wheel passed over. his neck and he
was picked up unconscious. He was
carried to his home. TO be removed
TO the hospital half an hour later.
Radiograph Showed Injury.
AT the hospital a Photograph
showed what seemed to be a disloca-
ion of the sixth vertebra. A set OF
braces was devised TO pull down at
the waist and up at the shoulders, so
that the fifth and seventh vertebrae
might be kept from pressing on the
injured sixth. and in that way keep
the spinal cord from being chafed.
These braces remained in place for
some days, Brown lying in coma al
most uninterruptedly.
A second examination was made to-
ward the end OF the boys first week
OF confinement and the clearer view
afforded by the action OF the braces
showed that the sixth vertebra had not
been injured after all This radio
graph revealed, however. that the sec =
ond vertebra had been crushed and
the treatment OF the case was changed
accordingly.
Attention was directed solely to has
tening the healing OF the bone since il
seemed sure that the spinal cord had
not been affected. The response TO the
new treatment was Immediate, and
Brown began rapidly TO gain strength.
Two weeks ago IL became evident that
he would recover II no further n1ishap
CHANGED. and week ago II became
only a question OF days before the boy
would be able to leave his bed.
Narrowly Escaped Death.
Browns recovery is consider ed re-
markaole, despite the fortunate circum-
stance that the spinal cord escaped
laceration. This Is accounted for by
the fact that he was not struck Vio-
lently, but that the wheel OF the auto
mobile passed slowly over his neck.
Otherwise, the spinal cord could hard
~ have escaped injury. The margin
by which this was avoided was the
fractured vertebra stopped snort of the
cord.
Robertson was not held at the time
OF the accident. His responsibility has
now, of course been entirely dissi-
pated.
