Out of the Ordinary Health Oddities and Wonders
A roundup of curious medical tales includes Edna Moore regaining sight after an operation in Maryland, Mrs. Rush’s pin lodged near a lung found by X ray, and Mr Hinkle who has never shaved. Others recount a jaw dislocation from a dentist visit, a loyal dog by a dying horse, a prizefighter losing focus on hair, and a remarkably husky two and a half year old in Michigan. Also noted are tall tales of seven Williams siblings teaching across Indiana andWisconsin, Gertrude Grass losing her long braid mysteriously, a Chicago woman swallowing a ten inch knife for eight months, and Miss McDonald awaiting appendicitis surgery in Indianapolis. The ad column promotes Chamberlain’s Tablets for indigestion and constipation.
