BOY swE1LED LIKE A BALLOON.
Punctured Lung Let Air Escape Into
 the Cavities of the Trunk

Baltimore, Md. January With one Of the most peculiar diseases ever rr- corded, fifteen-year-old Frederick KeI- lerman is a sufferer at the city hospital. Cellular emphysema is the medical term applied to the lads ailment When re- ceived at the hospital the physicians discovered that four of his rios were broken. He had met with an accident in trying to make a horse back. One of the shafts of the wagon pinioned him against a stone wall and crushed his side. One of the broken ribs pene- trated the lungs and caused the air breather in to escape as fast as taken in.
 The lads body from abdomen to chin began to swell until he resembled a bai- loon receiving gas. The air getting Oe- tween the flesh and skin caused tne body to expand. To save his patient $ life. Professor TrimbIe cut into the chest and plugged one Of the lungs. thereby cutting off the supply of air from that organ. When this was done the air left the body. making a noise which could be heard in the adioinine- room. Had the operation not been quickly performed the lad would have smothe1ed to death as the swelling had already reached the chin and could get no farther.
 The boy is now suffering from pIeur- isy and the chances of recovery are slight
