WONDERFUL SURGICAL FEAT.
A Two Months. Old Babe Underqoes Severe
Operation and Survives.

New York. April IA new and Won
derful record has been made by DR.
Alfred c. Carpenter of this city, the
specialist in abdominal troubles. The
case involved two operations in one
that of laparotomy. or the cutting of
the abdominal tissues, and lapro-
.nterotomy. the severing and rejoining
Of the intestines.
The patient was only two months
old. being the youngest child ever
operated upon for chronic intususcep-
ton, and the work of the surgeon was
successful in a surprising degree. The
operation is regarded as most danger
Gus and difficult even when a robust
adult is under the knife
AS to children, DR.. Frederick Treaves
Of London, the famous authority, de-
clares that never before was child of
less than three months old SO operated
upon. and that out of IS cases, only 13
patients survived the ordeal.
The disease is one in which the intes-
tines are telescoped, impeding and
sometimes entirely stopping the diges-
I've process. Unless speedily relieved
The patient must inevitably die.
The operations occupied just 20 nlinu-
ties. The boy took food within two
hours after the operation and never
missed meal from then on. The
wounds have completely healed.
