Another instance of a foreign substance being removed from a person's body after a lapse of years is provided by a Gisborne resident, Mr S. G. Wells, who has just had removed from his foot a piece of jarrah wood that must have been there for 20 years. Mr Wells calculates the period from the time, when a boy, he ran barefooted over some jarrah timber in the King Country, and states that he has never been near that type of timber in bare feet since then. He did not experience any trouble until a soreness developed three weeks ago. The spot was lanced, and a large jarrah splinter, three-quarters of an inch long, was removed. The course was at its height, at the Waitara Plumpton last week. The greyhounds were drawing close on their quarry, and it was evident an exciting conclusion would be a matter of moments only. It was . . . A strange brindle dog jumped the fence and killed the liar'-.
