tinues: ur
Il really. did not suffer much after

good treatment there that it did not
hurt. You can feel your foot, just as
plain-feels like il is asleep you
know. The doctors are busy all the
time and will soon forget me, but l
shall never forget them. The doctor
told me today my wound is all healed
and can soon be up on crutches."

Kenneth, whose wound excites quite
as much interest in Keokuk as in
