RECOVERS USE OF HIS LEGS . THROUGH A SHOOK. Not the least remarkable story of recovery, by shock is told of a Bristol soldier. He wa-s discharged from the Army because he had lost the use of his legs, but regained his full powers as the result of a taxi-cab incident. The happy man is Pte. A. W. Brace, late of the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry, whose home is at Fishponds, Bristol. He returned recently as an invalid, consequent on exposure to wet and cold in the trenches'whilst serving with his regiment at l'pres. A mimI ber of friends; as a mark of appreciation, • bought him an invalid chair, which was publicly presented, and in it he was photographed. Later in the day when be was out with a friend) who was assisting him in the chair, a taxi-cab, which by a peculiar coincidence contained another intimate friend of his, nearly dashed into him. His friend who was with him screamed. Brace, who was so unwell on his return home that he went to bed, awoke next morning feeling the j effects of shock, but to his unspeakable joy discovered that the use of his legs had been restored.
