His case was first thought to be mumps, but an x-ray examination disclosed the fact that the young man was suffering from an infection of the tooth. Quite an amount of pus was obtained from the infection, and it is expected the abscess will rapidly disappear now 7 that the pus has been removed. Ross Benjamin, who had the fibula bone of his right leg broken in an automobile accident recently, has not been improving as rapidly as he should, so an x-ray picture was taken of the leg Thursday afternoon and it was found that part of the fibula bone, about three inches in length, was floating free in the leg, having been broken off at 'both ends, and was lying askew’ in the leg. A smaller piece of bone was also found and vzas quite a little distance from its natural abode. An operation will be performed tomorrow and these two pieces of bone removed.
