suffered much pain. After forceps failed
to reach the obstruction DR.. Boutwell,
was put on horizontal bar, head down
ward. He was pounded on the back and
made to cough and gag. On Tuesday a
pair of long forceps we're inserted into the
trochea. The cork was located, but
could not be reached. Then long
catheter, in which was strong but small
corkscrew, was inserted. A small piece
of cork was withdrawn-about one
fifteenth of it-but the rest of the cork
could not be extracted. An hour and q
half was spent with the screw, and the
patient became much exhausted. A
consultation was held, and it was decided
that the only method left was to cut open
the breast, break and push back two ribs,
and get at the bronchial tube that way.
DR.. Boutwell, never rallied, however, and
died Sunday night, sixteen days after the
accident. His right lung, which for two
weeks has been compelled to do the work
of both, went into q collapse from the
oyerwork, and death followed. Seldom
has man made stronger fight for his
life than Dr.. Boutwell, made. The cork
has attracted wide attention.

= Grows are commonly said to live for
one hundred years, and turtles are said
to have even longer life, but the greatest
amount of longevity is possessed by
fishes. A naturalist once said that as q
fish had no maturity there is nothing to
prevent it from living indefinitely, and
growing continually. He cited, as proof,
pike in Russia, whose age is known to
date back to the fifteenth century. In
the Royal aquarium at st. Petersburg
there are hundreds of fish that were put

Freytog was found dead in his room in the

Squire McClung was notified and held an
inquest, but could learn nothing that
pointed positively to the cause of death,

bottle, also labelled morphine, were
found in his room, but there were
no signs that the man had died from NOR
phine poisoning. Mr. Wilson in charge of
the undertaking establishment last

porter to where Freytog was laid
out, said Il do not believe this
