From the San Francisco Call, Volume 96, Number 157, November 4, 1904, Page 7
After wandering all over her body for fourteen years a needle was taken from the shoulder of Bertha Coler at the Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadelphia. When she was five years old she fell to the kitchen floor and the needle entered her left ankle. At intervals of two or three months she felt pains as the needle was making its way through her body. Several [previous] attempts to remove it were unsuccessful.”
