The direct consequences of the injury are impossibility of masticating food, great impairment of functions of the tongue and throat, difficult distution(?) liquids alone can be swallowed. The secretion of the salivary glands cannot be wholly retained, much of which is constantly escaping from his mouth. There is great deformity of the face owing to the collapsing of the lower part of the mouth. An indirect consequence of the pensioner�s injury is a disordered condition of the digestive organs.

Certificate made and sent. Recommend $25 per month.
