lips, after long struggles articulated
three words. Mamma, my head"
Then she tainted, going into convul-

Since then the child has spoken only
the word Mamma" When her mother
moves about the room where the lit
tie body lies tossing in pain the child
follows her every move, and she
makes pathetic struggles to speak.
