On November 23, 1901, about 4 p.m., I received a telephone message saying our little three-year-old daughter had fallen out of the second story window, and knowing the distance to be about twenty-two feet I was greatly alarmed. I immediately telephoned our teacher for help, and started for home, arriving there in about twenty minutes. I found she had fallen face downwards and was terribly bruised, and it was thought she could not possibly live half an hour.

My wife not being at home at the time, several of the neighboring women were called in by the house girl, and all insisted on having a doctor. I called one in, more to quiet their fear than anything else. The doctor examined the little one, and said there were no bones broken, but she had concussion of the brain. I dismissed him, saying if we needed his services again we would let him know. I then telephoned our teacher the condition, and returned to the house to find the child much better. She soon went to sleep; when I laid her in the bed I noticed she adjusted herself, and was breathing naturally. She slept for about an hour and a half. When she woke up she seemed to be in distress. In a short time she threw up a quantity of blood. She immediately began to get better. By half past seven o'clock she asked for her doll and some candy. It being Wednesday evening I went to church. When I returned I found her in good spirits, playing with her dolls, etc., and before retiring she ate some candy. Next morning, when her mother stood her on the floor to dress her, we discovered that her right ankle had been badly sprained, and was very much swollen. We treated her for the claim, and by the next day the soreness had nearly all disappeared. Saturday she was running around as usual. In seven days all the scabs had fallen off, and only a few little marks remained. In a very short time all signs of the bruises and cuts were gone.
