FICKLER CHILD HAS
A CASE OF LOCKJAW
Very Little Hope Is Held Out for
Its Recovery, Says the
Physician.
The 2-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Lee Fickler was laken to
Omaha this afternoon suffering
with lockjaw. There is but little
hope I hat it w ill liv e. As is usual
in such cases, Ihe child became
ill suddenly. Dr. Cummins was
called in today, and seeing the
child had decided sinptonis of
lockjaw, asked the mother if the
child had a sore anywhere, s.he
replied that the child had com
plained of nothing. On examin
ing Ihe feet an infected place was
found. The child had probably
stepped on a rusty nail.
'The rlyld has had convulsions
since last night and its muscles
are hard. Dr. , Cummins im
mediately gave the .child the
serum used in lockjaw cases and
treated the sore with carbolic
acid, but he says that recoveries
are rare in that disease.
The child, in care of its mother
and grandmother, Mrs. Miller,
was laken to Omaha this after
noon, where it was placed in St.
Joseph's hospital.
