Wan MINUS THREE RIBS,
Curious Chest Formation of Francisco
BraschelIa- an Italian.
From tn, New York Herald.

Prom The New York Herald.
Remarkable among anatomical wonders
Is the case of Francisco Braschella, which
has just been brought to the attention of
the surgeons in the Long Island College
Hospital. Brooklyn. Braschella's claim to
distinction lies in the fact that he was born
minus the three ribs the right side over
the lung, and has reached the age of
forty-two years without these supposed-to-
be necessary bony protectors.
He is an Italian, and is engaged in the
fruit business in Hazleton, Pa. He was
brought 10 the hospital by one of the immi-
grant commissioners. who was anxious that
he be- examined under the X rays The ex-
animation was made by Dr. Wight
This demonstrated that the patient had

The mans chest presented a most extraor-
binary appearance.

"hich became cavity on expiration and

formity did not interfere with his usual
work, though the use of his right arm was
somewhat impaired. For instance. he
gould not touch the opposite shoulder with

any force.

nary business. One of the physicians In
explaining the case said yesterday:
Ordinarily men have seven true ribs
