BRANCH BREAKS MAN’S JAW. An accident possessing extraordinary features, and resulting in a painful injury to a sawmill worker named R. Riddell, is reported from the Tuatapere district (says the Southland Times). It appears that on Saturday morning Riddell, who is a young married man employed at Messrs Blrse and Company’s sawmill at Pukcmaeri, w:as attending to a water race attached to the mill, some distance from the works./ A strong wind was blowing at the time, and it is surmised that a dead branch of a big tree nearby was lopped off by the wind and hurled without warning across Riddell’s body. Portion of the limb struck Riddell on the side of ihc head and pinned it against a rugged stump. The impact was so jarring as to fracture the unfortunate man’s jaw and badly mutilate the cheek. Riddell was temporarily stunned, but recovered sufficiently to crawl half a mile along a narrow track to some fellow workmen, who attended to him and conveyed him to Dr Dodds, of Tuatapere. Riddell was later removed to the Riverton Hospital.

Shift that cold! It will prove quite easy if you use “ Nazol.” Powerful and penetrating. Acts like a charm. 60 doses for Is 6d.—Advt.
