short time, considering tho magnitude
of the undertaking and the unbalanced
condition of his mind, had produced o

Tho figure, which is now carefully
treasured, is said to be equal to any

Case Accidents of This Nature Aro
No: Hare-- Position OF tho Death
Dealing Cork.

Rev. George w. Bothwell, Of Brook
lyn, N. Y, died early in May from tho
effects of having accidentally inhaled q
cork. The case became quickly cclc-
bratcd, not, says tho Health Monthly,
because such accidents arc rnritics. but
because Of the prominent position OF the
clergyman, and the efforts made by sur
Geons to save him. About to pour med
icinc from n bottle he held the cork be-
tween his teeth, and being at the samo
time made to laugh by the antics of his
child he took quick, deep breath. and
the cork went with tho druught of cir
into the breathing tubes, and soon
lodged as closely rs in bottle In one CT
tho bronchial tubes leading to the mid
die portion of the left lung. Several ut
tcmpts were made by competent sur
geons to dislodge tho cork, and special
corkscrcw instrument was devised for
the purpose, but the cork was too firm
ly imbcddcd in the bronchial mucous
membrane, and post-mortem showed
that this membrane had become swollen
oil about the cork, so that Its removal
would have been impossible except
very soon after its entrance. If the
last attempt had been tho first, and no
timc lost in making it, it is barely pos
sible that surgery might have relieved,
for the cork showed signs of having
been entered by the corlescrcw and bits
had been broken out by it. Its position
had been accurately located. Not being
removed, the cork caused local inhnrn-
nation, formation of pus, blood-poison-
Ing, heart failure and death after about
fifteen days Of pntient and courageous
suffering.
Foreign bodies, such as false teeth,
bones and coins have in some cases re-
