Jaw Is Dislocated When Girl Yawns
That unusual thing which befalls human beings ever so often befell Miss Flora Brooks at the family home in the Shiloh church neighborhood of Brown County, Saturday night. Miss Brooks was making ready to call it a week and the family was retiring. As is the custom with all of us, she thoughtlessly yawned. Instead of her lower jaw coming back in place as usual, it remained locked and she was left in unusual discomfort and remained so until a physician could arrive and reset the dislocated lower jaw.
