GIRL CRIPPLE DROPS
CRUTCH AT TER DREAM
Helpless For Two Years, She
Suddenly Begins Walking.

New York. Impressed by Il vivid
dream i'll which she saw herself throw
away her crutcheS, Helen Il. Scott,
paralyzed since 1912 and described by
specialists to he hopelesSlY crippled,
walked to school from her home. She
expressed Il desire 10 enter the gym
nasium class Immediately. but her par
ents objected.
In january OF 1917 Miss Scott, who
is fourteen years old, returned from
Sunday school and complained of her
legs hurting her. In Il few days she
was unable to walk and was pro
nounCed a hopeless cripple, suffering
from infantile paralysis. The family
Immediately called specialists, but all
shook their heads and stated they
could do nothing for the child. For
months Miss Scott was wheeled about
her home in Il chair and was often
called 1.-THE sunshine of the neighbor-
hood
Her school classmates had aided in
caring for her and had taken turns in
wheeling her about the streets in a
wheel chair her parents provided for
her. Her birthday is Dee. % so last
Christmas her parents rendered par
ty 10 her girl friends. She attended
it on clutches, which she had learned
to use That night the girls united
in wishing her better health and the
recovery of the use of her legs. The
next morning Mrs. Scott was told by
her daughter that she had dream
that she could walk.
For several days she talked of the
dream to her family and friends. One
night soon aftcrward Mrs. Scott heard
a noise in the room occupied by the
cripple and, running upstairs, was sur
priSed to find her daughter standing
alone. In one corner of the room lay
the discarded crutcheS. Miss Scott was
able to walk without assistance and
finally regained strength enough to
venture into the street

BATHROOM SHOCKS.
Keep Away From Electric Fixtures
While Your Skin Is Wet.

y man is in much greater danger
from electric shock when taking bath
than under ordinary conditions, as the
surface Of the body when moist offers
much less resistance to the current
than when dry. Persons have been
killed while bathing by current that
would scarcely have affected them out
side he bath. says Cosmos of Paris.
Balthazard told at the Society of
Legal Medicine of the case of lady
killed 10y electric shock in her bath
room ut the moment when she was
pressing the button of an electric bell
between the poles of which there was
Il difference of potential of not more
than 10 volts.
In ordinary circumstances, owing to
the great resistance of the human body.
such 4 small rlCCtrOmOtive force pre-
SCENTS no great danger, but when the
circuit contains. as in the case report
ed, Il large surface of moist skin the re-
sistance fails and more than 100 MILL
ampereS may pass through the organ
ism, sufficient ut this tension to pro
duce death by tetanization of the re
spiratOry muscles.
Currents of even forty-SiX volts are
dangerous in bathroom. 1t should be
remembered that currents of feeble in
tcnsity can produce Il sudden rise of
arterial tension capable of causing sud
den death in Il person with Il weak
heart.
High tensions. enabling currents of
four TO five ampereS to pass. have
quite Il different effect. They do not
generally cause death because the
notifications of the tissue produced at
the point of contact ut once oppose Il
considerable resistance to the passage
of the current. The intensity within
the organism is not sufficient to cause
termination of the respiratory mus
cles, and the LESSONS are usually purely
local.
Socquet also observed case of
electrocution with an clectromotivc
