A Neglected Scratch.
A man was at his work ono frosty

slight scratch ou tho buck of his

to it would have caused it to heal
in a day or two. It was neglected.

which a single poultice would have
reduced. Tho whole hand became
inflamed, aud should have had tho
best liiodicul attention, but it was
neglected. Tho arm and shoulder
and buck were seized with pais, nnd
now nil was alarm nnd confusion.
Twelve physicians were soon in at
tendance to consult the case. The
question was whether tho cnitint-
off the limb would suvo the mini u
life, and it was too Into. The lis-
