Body Crumbled to Pieces.

A boy aged seven died at Zurich of old age. His case was exceptionally unique, for he was the youngest member of a family who had won local repute as athletes. The eldest brother was a first-class boxer, whilst the younger had won many prizes on the sports-ground. Doctors from all parts of Europe flocked to Zurich to tiy and diagnose its cause and effect a successful cure, but In vain. A few days before this unfortunate child’s death his teeth actually crumbled to pieces and his flesh began to rot. His eyes were found to be the size of a shoe button and his bones an brittle as glass.
