Woodstock, Oct. 29 - Ella NELSON, colored, 11 years old, died today with haemorrhage while under medical treatment. Her parents brought her to Dr. Smith to be treated for a swelling on one side of her face. The doctor, after examining the swelling which had been growing for six years, concluded to extract a tooth that seemed to be the cause of the irritation. The tooth came very easily, but the extraction was followed by a diffuse flow of blood and the patien went immediately into convulsions and in a few minutes was dead. (see original)
