Rare Operation in a st. Louis Hos

Saturday night, still lives. After taking
three stitches in the right ventricle of
Gums heart, Dr. Fl. Il. Nietert, superin-

patient put under the influence Of NOR
phine and carried to the surgical ward,
where he remained alive today. The
doctor gave out the following statement
tonight: e,.. $c
''Philip Gum was brought to the City
Hospital in an unconscious condition
about o'clock on Saturday night. He
became unconscious, subsequently. 1t was
found that Il stab wound about three
quarters of an inch in length, situated
to the right of the breast bone, and on
i level with the fifth rib, had been in
tlicted. Examination of the heart showed
| It to plllsate very feebly. The radial
artery and carotids were absolutely pulse
less. Further examination of the wound
showed that it passed directly into the
heart and its bleeding occurred from
that organ. I immediately concluded to
operate. Incisions We're made and the
heart exposed for the operation. The
patient ceased to breathe several times.
50 that it was necessary to resort to arti-
| fetal desperation and stimulation.
This irregular breathing continued
| until the pericardium was opened and re-
striction of the heart relieved by the
removal Of the clots of blood from the
lDcricardium. The heart then began to
act powerfully and the pulses from the
various arteries could easily be discerned
The hearts action was free and it was
noticed that the right ventricle had been
lpierced. A penetrating incised wound
about one-third of an inch in length was
| found.
| Bleeding from the heart at this time
was quite rapid and the patient lost
| considerable blood. | Immediately or
lcred TRANSMISSION, and quart of saline
solution was introduced into the veins tc
replace the lost blood. The sutures were
applied three being necessary to secure
the wound. The pericardium and tht
external wounds were then closed. Tho
loperation was performed in about TWEEN
lty-tiye minutes"
