At the age of two years she had a fall, after which she had grown physically to about her normal self, but her brain seemed to stop functioning, leaving her a mental wreck. She did not seem to have any control over herself, just a baby in mind, physically nine years grown. She could not dress, wash, or feed herself-you might say her intellect was a blank, undeveloped, and a sorrowful care to her parents. Began Blood Treatment October 2nd, 1924, and in a short time began to show improvement. Today she is nearly normal -can go and come at will, dress herself, ask questions, and is learning everything that the nine years have passed by.
