Removes Needle After 19 Years.
One day recently Dr. Kincaid
| removed a portion of a sewing
needle from the leg of Claude
Casey, which had been imbeded
in that member near the knee
for 19 years.
At several different times the
j needle would show up under the
I skin and cause considerable
I pain, after which it would seem
to disappear, and maybe would
not be noticeable again for three
or four years. So a few days
ago the needle was again discov-
ered on the back of the leg near
the knee, and Claud decided lo
get rid of its unpl easant maneu
vers for all time to come. Dr.
Kincaid was sailed into service,
and after cutting into the needle
and fastening it with his nip-
pers it it required an effort of
manual strength to dislodge it.
When the articles was taken out,
it was discovered that a hard
grissle had formed around it.
