A TRIUMPH OF SURGERY.
The Case of Man Who Swallowed
His Suspenders.

His suspenders.
A case recorded in the Boston Med
icaI and Surgical Journal by DR.. ~
II. Richardson is remarkable exam
pie Of the extraordinary feats in swai-
lowing foreign bodies sometimes per-
formed by men.
A man. aged % years, was admitted
to the hospital. He said that two
weeks previously. while he was In
despondent state. he had endeavored TO
swallow his suspenders and had sue
eeeded in getting down certain por-
tious. but how much he had swallowed
he could not tell. He did not complain
Of pain, but rather of discomfort un-
der the bruast while eating. The food
at times passed easily into the stom-
ach. At other times il was regurgitat-
ed Immediately Nothing could be seen
in the throat. With a probe some OBJ
struetion was felt
A skiagram showed a suspender
buckle at the middle Of the chest and
possibly another higher up AS the
chief danger in esophageal impaction
is from liberation into the great yes
sells. especially when the foreign body
has sharp edges. and as fatal erosion
usually takes place in two weeks or
less, it was concluded that If there
was any erosion it was sufficiently ad-
vanced to make even the most careful
manipulation dangerous. The problem
was how TO perform extraction with
out producing fatal hemorrhage.
The throat was opened. and with a
pair Of forceps. string attached TO a
brass ring and then half suspender
with two buckles and finally third
buckle were removed. A prObang was
passed into the stomach without meet
ing with further obstruction.
The wound was closed with silk
sutures, and recovery ensued.

'It must be held that upon the cession

much so as is Arizona or Minnesota, and
that the Constitution of the United States,

ers of Manhattan bartered il 10 the
Dutch for baubles worth GO guiiders.
As early as 1858, there being war
with the French, "a platform upon the
outmost point of rocks under the fort

battery. and the council was called
upon by Governor Fletcher to furnish
"S6 cords of stockades, y feet in
length. for the purpose Of building

In 1875 a really imposing battery,
with a no less imposing title, The

Gathering the Down of Cattails In

One of the queerest Industries has

Sometimes the tail, or furry part. is a
foot or more long and thick IN proper

stalk
Certain people always more or less
