CORN IN TIE wINDPIPE,
[Fort Dodge Messenger.]


A dangerous operation was performed
On the person of the 1-year-old child of
ldr and Mrs. j. w. Miller, of Evanston,
On Tuesday evening.
About a week ago the child swallowed
!. grain of corn which became stuck in
its windpipe and caused it the most
acute suffering as we'll as considerable
difficulty in breathing. Every breath
was drawn with the greatest difficulty,
and the child wasted its strength in ef-
forts to get rid of the obstruction which
blocked the free passage of air to the
lungs. The corn slipped up and down
the windpipe. but could not be dislodgcd
by any means which the parents could
devise.
Medical aid was summoned, and it was
decided that the only way in which the
child could be relieved was by Sitting
the windpipe ard extracting the grain of
Corn, which would otherwise have ended
the child rs life within week. This was
Gone accordingly. The windpipe was
opened In the neck, the aperture being
made sufficiently wide TO admit the pas
sage OF the obstruction, and the body OF
the child was then shaken until the Of
Tending grain made its appearance, and
was extracted thru the opening which
had been left for IL.
The aperture on the windpipe was
then carefully closed. and the result OF
the experiment was watched for. The
child showed instant relief, breathed
easily and naturally, and is now on the
way to Q speedy recovery.
