Mora than t\vo years ago a piece of metal fell on a boy’s foot and fractured a bpno of-the great toe, which was amputated. The lad still felt great pain in the stump, and tho other toenails stopped growing for two years. At tho end of that time Dr Hildred Carlill, physician to Westminster Hospital, diagnosed the case as. one of hysteria, and tried to reason the boy out of it. Tho patient would not tolerate the slightest touch, but one day, says Dr Carlill, iri| a recent lecture quoted in -the ‘Lancet’ "I took off my coat, grasped the stump, and held on. Over and over we went, round and round tho room, the roars of the boy arousing the hospital; but in fifteen minutes he had stopped tho struggles and I had won. He at once put on his ordinary boots, and in a week was back at work in the dockyard. Sis months later ho was still full of gratitude.” ; Parents!
