DEATH FROM TETANUS.
CAUSED BY BRUISED HEEL,
(By Telegraph. Press Association.)
HAMILTON, Friday
How a simple injury can be attended with fatal .consequences was well illustrated in the death yesterday of a five-year-old boy, son of Mr and F. J. Ellis, of Colingwood Street. The boy sustained a bruised heel a short time ago, evidently from striking a stone. Little was thought of the matter at the time, especially as the wound had apparently healed completely.- The heel, however, began to fester, and tetanus set in.
