TRAVELS OF A NEEDLE
A girl has had a strange adven-' ture with ' a needle, and doctors are amazed by it. Dora Watkinson, of Bury Street, Edmunds/ in Suffolk, trod on a. darning needle which broke off in her foot. Although the foot was X-rayed the needle could not. be found, and as the girl did not suffer she soon forgot the incident. Thirteen months after the accident the girl's tongue received a scratch. Putting her hand in her mouth she found the needle between two teeth in the lower jaw and managed to pull it out. The fragment needle, half-an-inch long, had travelled round her body for thirteen months and had done her no harm.
