FARM HAND POISONED.
LOSES USE OF BOTH ARMS. INFECTION SPREADS FROM CUT. fSpecial to the “ Guardian.”) WHAKATANE, January 8. A farm hand, Ernest Lines, of Edgccumbe, aged 17, has suffered an unusual poisoning accident which leaves both his arms powerless. About a week ago, while feeding pigs at Messrs Holdsworth Brothers’ pig farm, he cut himself on the palm of his hand. After he had milked that night he felt a pain in the hand, hut took little notice of this until he lost the use of liis left arm. He then consulted a doctor, who immediately ordered him to the Wliakatane Hospital, where now he will be an inmate for some time. The poison has travelled through both arms from the hand to the elbow. It is considered by doctors that the trouble is due to the cow he milked being in bad health or attacked with some disease. Lines’ condition is reported to he good.
