'Jaws Were Locked
Can Usz Them Now
Baltimore. Md., Nov. 3 —A re
markable operation which has
resulted successfully was recent
ly performed at a local hospital
on a fourteen-year-old boy who,
since birth, bhas been unable to
move his jaws, The fact become
Known today. From the time of
his birth it had been necessary to
feed the child through a tube as
bis jaw bones were stiff, having
no normal hinges.
The surgeon cut through the
soli4 bone where the joint should
have been and modeled on the
sectional joints such as nature
usually provides. The child has
left the hospital and now has the
normal use of his jaws.
Near Death From
Bite of Spider
Valdosta, Da., Nov. 4.—John
Balcaum. a well-known white
man living in the Lake Park dis
‘trict, has been lingering becween
life and death for twodays as the
result of a spider bite on his foot.
Local physicians who went to see
him declare that the bite was al
most as bad as a rattlesnake.
Mr. Balcaum got up early in
the morning and put his foot in
his shoe without looking into it.
This spider, which was a big
black one with a red tip, stung
him on the instep. The wound
began to swell and it soon re
sembled the bite of a deadly ser
pent, The doctors believe that
it would have been fatal if it had
not been for Balcaum’s wonderful
vitality. |
