some of the, most, remarkable objects ev-
er taken from a mans stomach. These
included knives. forks, nails, tacks,
watch chains. dog chains, glasses, knife
handles and similar things.
Arthur Shut, who said he was by
profession a human ostrich and
man with a cast-iron stomach" was
the subject of the operation. He was
admitted to the hospital on Tuesday. He
complained of a gripping pain in his stom-

vomiting a dark-colored liquid. He told
the physician who examined him that he
never had any severe diseases, but had

ailments OF children, measles, Whooping

two months attack of rheumatism in his
knees n hips which kept him in bed.

to excess, and smoked some.
When questions further by the hospi-

been in the habit of chewing such heavy
articles of diet as tacks, nails, glass and
similar odds and ends, but he professed
never to have swallowed them before last
Saturday. "
Last saturday he met a number of
students, so he said, and boosted to them

low ten-penny nails. He was with them
from Z O'Clock in the evening until 2

swallowed the broken pieces of an en-
tire beer glass and a quarter Of a pound
OF ten-penny nails and a box of No. IA
tacks before his interested spectators.
He said he did not intend to swallow
them, but merely chew them. His audi

When he started to work Monday
