Remarkable Surgical Operation That Cured
Case of Arrested Development = The
Ailment Puzzled Doctors and Was the
Only Instance of the Kind Known.

Only Instance oil the Kind known.
One of the most remarkable cases in
medical history, say physicians, is that
of Joseph Beschlagengaul, young Ger
man matchmaker living at $50 Sedg-
wick street, Chicago. 1t is asserted by
some that his ailment is the only in
stance of its kind ever known.
For IS years this young man was
compelled to live. on beer alone, and
during that time his body experienced
only as much growth as it should have
had in four years. Two surgical opera
tions have resulted in an almost COM
plete cure, and Beschlagengaul is now
on the high road TO health. The re-
markable effectiveness of the operations
was shown in phenomenal growth of
6 inches in two months and in gain
in weight of over 90 pounds
A little over a year ago an emaciated
boy was sent one day to the German
hospital on the North Side and asked if
something could not be done for him.
The boy was chiefly skin and bones. He
weighed 72R pounds, was AZ feet in
height and appeared to the doctors to be
about ii years Of age. They were as
founded when the diminutive youth
told them he was 20 years old. The in
terest Of the physicians then in
creased materially, and Beschlagengaul
was given an unusually careful exami-
nation. After thorough investigation
DIR. q. Fenger diagnosed the trouble as
contraction of the pyloric orifice, su-
perinduced by chronic inflammation
Of the stomach.
The surgeon, it is said, noticed an un-
dulating motion on the surface of the
abdomen, apparently indicating an
effort of the stomach to force its Goa
tents through its lower opening, the
pyloric orificc, and this confirmed him
in the belief that his diagnosis was cor
rect. An operation was decided upon.
The boy was placed upon an operating
table ard put under the influence Of an
anDsthetic. Vivisection was then begun
by DR.. Fenger, assisted by DR.. III. j.
Haiselden and Others
An opening over foot long was
made in the front Of the body. The
stomach was opened, and il was found
that the oriiice, which should be almost
as large as ones little finger, was scarce
ly big enough to permit the insertion
of match No effort was made to en-
large the opening. Instead a hole was
cut in the stomach near this point.
Then another hole was cut in "a neal
loop of the intestine, and the edges Of
the two incisions were brought together
and fastened by metallic Murphy but
ton, through the middle of which runs
a tube. Thus an entirely new opening
for the passage Of food from the stom
ach was made.
The effect OF this first operation wa
almost magical. The natural effort n

SHE FINDS HER SON.
After Seventeen Years . Parent and Her
Child Are United.

hTo Onlteos
Charles Norton, a 17-year. old boy,
supposed to be without parents, after
being ward of Marblehead, Mass,
from infancy, has found his mother and
recently left the almshouse for his home
in Lynn. The story is almost like ro-
nance.
Seventeen years ago last April Charles
Norton was born in Boston and was put
cut to board with woman who had
other babies to care for and who was
unable or unwilling to bestow the care
upon him that the state authorities said
she must. Cholera infantum attacked
the children, and the state board took
the babies from the woman and sent
them to public institution in one Of
the suburbs of Boston.
The mother Of the Norton baby went
to see her child and to pay its board at
the end of fortnight. Hearing of the
change made, she proceeded to the pub
lie institution to recover it. Arriving
there, she was told that the baby had
died either on the way or soon after ar
irving.
1t is now said that one of the babies
did die, but that those in charge were
not clear as to which, one and conse-
quently made the mistake unwittingly.
Charles Norton grew, and when it
came time for the payment of the board
he was enrolled as ward of Marble
head, and the bill was sent to the over
seers of the poor. The latter soon after
ward took the boy in charge and placed
him at the almshouse, later giving him
into the keeping of the sisters of char
ity of Salem. Charles remained at that
institution until two years ago, when
he went back TO the almshouse.
The mother is dressmaker in Lynn.
She first learned that her boy was living
through Mrs. Elena Blaney Of Marble
head.
Mrs. Norton went to the almshouse,
where, by certain indisputable proofs,
she recognized her boy and asked for
his restoration to her. Boston Herald.
