NEEDLE BOTHERED HER.
Taken From Back of Woman After Beginning Embedded Two Years.
Philadelphia.-After working its way along the arm of Mrs. A. Greenfield of 2109 North Warnock street, a needle which entered the palm of her hand two years ago was extracted from her shoulder recently in the Children's Homeopathic hospital.
In August, 1913, Mrs. Greenfield was working her sewing machine, when the needle was thrust into her hand, becoming embedded in the flesh.
At the time her doctor advised her to have an X-ray used, so as to prevent the needle from working its way to her heart. She neglected it, however, and did not feel any pain until a week ago, when her shoulder became sore. She went to the hospital, and the doctors found the needle several inches under her skin, close to the shoulder joint.
