Considerable interest has lately been excited here
amongst the members of the medical profession, by the admis-
sion of a patient into the Royal Infirmary, who reported that
she had swallowed a brass padlock I The patient's history was
as follows :—About fire weeks ago, whilst amusing herself
with "a friend, she put the padlock into her mouth, and it in-
stantly slipped down her throat ! An emetic was soon after-
wards administered, which she founi great difficulty in swal-
lowing ; vomiting took place immediately afterwards, accom-
panied with great pain in the throat, and a discharge of blood.
During the succeeding 24 hours she felt as if the padlock
were wedged in the throat, and experienced a painful sense
of suffocation, after which she felt little pain or inconvenience,
and concealed the accident from her friends until Sunday the
19th ult. She was soon afterwards admitted into the
hospital as a patient of Professor Lizar3, who, from the
moment of her admission was of opinion the woman's
report was accurate ; but, doubt existing in the minds of some
of his colleagues, he deferred performing the operation for
the extraction of the foreign body, which, in his opinion, was
necessary to place the woman in safety. Saturday night the
poor woman was attacked with violent vomiting, accompanied
with a feeling of suffocation and great pain in the throat,
which continued all night. Dr. Johnston, Professor Lizars's
hospital assistant, was called at half-past two on Sunday morn-
ing, and, finding the patient in imminent and immediate dan-
ger, he instantly, and unassisted, introduced an instrument,
invented for the purpose, into the gullet, and succeeded in ex-
tracting the padlock, to the immediate and complete relief of
the sufferer. The padlock weighed upwards of six drachms
(nearly an ounce), and measured an inch and an eighth in
breadth and one inch and two-thirds in length ; with the ex-
ception of the iron part being covered with mit, it was in no
way chanted in appearance.-- Caleclodian ,IVlercuryy.
