              AN UNPLEASANT PREDICAMENT
              
              Five years ago MRS. CHARLES KROUTZMAN of Saginaw
            swallowed something in a glass of water which she
            drank, which she claimed was alive. It sickened
            her at the time, but physicians attributed it to
            her fancy. Later she visited Germany and consulted
            physicians there, none of whom could relieve her.
            Lately, however, the reptile she believes to be a
            snake, has grown quite rapidly. Its movements can
            be detected quite readily. It sometimes comes in-
            to her throat and almost chokes her. A doctor with
            whom she was taking treatment caught sight of what
            he believed to be the animal's head while endeavor-
            ing to tempt it out by putting milk into the woman's
            mouth. It is thought the reptile is now at least
            two feet long and two inches in diameter.
