GsoPHAGoToMY. Mr.. Judd,-The no.
tee IN your last paper, OF successful opera
ton OF Esophagotomy, performed by Doct.
Blood, induced me to inform you that sim
ply.tappng creature into the paunch, and
keeping the incision open, are all that is
necessary to he done any creature that is
choked with a turnip, potatoe, or apple.
Not one out of an hundred will die, proyid-
ed the incision be made before the intes-
tines become ruptured. Creatures when
choked swell and are in great distress. from
the pressure of the internal air. Tapping
IN such cases gives instantaneous relief and
either OF the above substances will in the
course of seven hours become SO soft that
the creature will discharge it at the mouth
or swallow it. | never found any bad eff
fects from tapping, out of more than twenty
cases. The operation is very simple and
safe, when rightly performed. Any person
can inform himself while slaughtering
creature, by observing where the paunch
adheres TO the side. Tapping is the best
remedy, / think, for the disease called blown
or hoven. The effect of the wound is not
SO bad as the inflammation in the throat after
giving alkai. A. T..
