ALL HIS BONES BROKEN. Remaikable Series of Accidents nn English Collier. to Piom the Lancet. As might natuiall be expected from his hazaidous occupation, the collier is frequently Injured by accidents undei giound. But the following particulars deseive, I think, u spaee In the Lancet because of the stiangu seiles of frac tures .sustained by the man, as well as the lemaikabie coincidence In the date of their occunence. A man, aged forty-foui jeais, short und well built, was first attended by me on August 20, 1S30, for a compound fracture of the left leg, lesultlug fiom a poitlon of the loof or top falling and striking him while lollowlng bis em ployment in Rlsca collieries The pa tient made nn unlnteirupted iccovety nnd was able in about six months to lesume his work underground. The patient's previous history, told by himself and eoiroboiated by otheis, is very remaikable. With the exteptlon of an attack of uphold fpver, which he had when eighteen yais of age, and two or thtee attacks of qulnzy sub sequently, ho had not suffeied bodily In any wa. He was ulwaja veiy tem peiate and for about eighteen years a total abstainer. But his mlsfoi tunes In the mine weie mnny and are remaik able fiom the fact that they all hai pened on the UvUh dn of August. Hem Is hi? record. At the age ot ten jeais he fiactuied his light index llngei. It happened on August 20 When Milt teen yeais old ho fruituied his left leg be low the knee through falling from hoiseb.uk, nlf-o on August 26 When fouiteen yeais of age he fiattured both bones of tho left foieaun by stumb ling, his at in sti Iking tho edge of a brick, August 2fi. In another eai, on August 20, when fifteen yeais of age, ho had compound fiaetuin of the left lerr above the ankle by bib foot being caught under an Iron rod and his body falling forwatd. Next jeur, again on the same date, AtiuuBt lit, hu had rom- pound fracture ot both lest, the ilsht h. heltiK to severely crushed that It had to ho amputated nt tho lower third of the thlKh This wus mused by a horse, hitched tn a tram of coal, which, run nlmj wild underKi ound, tiiiKht him in u narrow pnhar,e. orushlnR; both legs severely. After this he did not work on AuKuet 2C for twenty-elBht jears, and little wonder, hut in the year 18i"0 lie forjtot his fateful day und wont to work with the result that he sustained the compound fraetuie which I havo men tioned In the beginning. After this ho has studiously avoided woiklnn on August 20, though never missing work ut other times. Willie's Theoiy. Willie Buy, Pa, do people ever muko cluthlug out of pecs? Pa No. my son.
