BRITISH COMMONS.
New Budget Will Precipitate a Bitter
Fight.

London, April 12-The house of COM
mons reassembled today after the Eas-
ter recess.
In anticipation of the opposition NOV
ing an adjournment in order to call at
tention to the bloodshed in Tibet, an
urgent whip was sent out by the gov
eminent supporters. Premier Balfour,
however, headed off the opposition's ac-
ton by himself referring to the matter
He said that since the recess began
there had been an action in Tibet which
had made it necessary, in accordance
with the statute, to ask the house to
sanction the employment of Indian
troops beyond the frontier. The pre-
mier thought there should be no delay
in the discussion, and therefore he
would introduce a resolution to this
effect tomorrow.
The proceedings We're not interesting
The chief interest centered in the forth
coming licensing bill to be introduced
by Mr.. Balfour, which promises to be
highly contentious, and the budget. to.
be introduced by Chancellor of the Elk
chequer Chamberlain April 10. The
government supporters make no secret
of the fact that they anticipate serious
difficulties in carrying the budget.

DRAWS NAIL FROM
CLOSE TO HEART
Magnet is Used in Delicate
Operation.
CHlLD'S LIFE Is SAVED
1890
EXPERIMENTS ARE FIRST MADE
ON A DOG.
CHlLD's LIFE is SAVED

! IEIITH the aid of d magnet, nail
Wv was drawn from the bronchial
tubes of d 16-months-old child
yesterday morning The operation was
performed by DR.. a. J. Hosmer, as
sisted by DR.. G.. Is. Pfoutz, on Louise
Cherry, daughter of j. W. Cherry of
Mt. Pleasant and granddaughter of
Judge y. n. Cherry Of Salt Lake. 1t
has no precedent in medical history.
Ordinary magnets have been used to
draw pieces of steel from the eye, but
the use of a powerful electromagnetic
to extract a foreign substance from
the bronchiel tubes, close to the heart,
is absolutely new.
If this method had not been en-
ployed. there is every reason TO be
lieve the child would have died. Dr.
Hosmer tried other methods on a dog,
but all were unsuccessful. 1t became
necessary to kill the dog. Last even
ing the child was doing well, with
every prospect of recovery.
X-Rays Were Used.
Two weeks ago today the little girl
was lying on her back on the floor at
her nome, rolling around ana playing.
She. picked up d small wire shingle
nail and put it in her mouth. She
started to cough or sneeze, and drew
the nail back into her throat. Thence
it went into the bronchial tubes and
lodged. The physicians at Mt. Pleas
ant thought the child had probably
swallowed the nail. They attempted
to treat her on that theory. but were
unsuccessful in relieving her, and de
cided to send her to Salt Lake, where
the X-rays could be used TO determine
exactly where the foreign substance
had found Judgment.
The child was brought TO Salt Lake
and last Saturday DR.. Hosmer took an
X-ray skiagraph of her. On develop
ing two negatives he found that the
nail had caught in one of the bronchial
tubes, close to the heart, and between
that organ and the spine. 1t was in
stantly evident that the operation
would be extremely delicate. To reach
the nail from the outside through the
back, it would be necessary to cut
the lung. The record of previous cases
where this was done has shown failure
in each instance, the patients being |
unable to stand the incision of the !
lungs in this place. DR.. Hosmer con- |
Guided the better way would be to at |
tempt to reach the nail and extract it !
rom above, through the wind-pipe.

Experimental on a Dog.

Before trying the operation on thu
child, he decided to experiment on {
dog. Securing a dog from the pound
of about the same size and weight a:

of tracheotomy. or opening the wind
pipe, Sunday. and put nail in abou
the same place as that lodged in the

was under the influence of cnoloro.
form all this time. The doctor ther
began to try to pull out the nail witt
various instruments. The results were
discouraging. Even the most improved
Instruments could not grip it. Instead
they pushed the nail farther iE, caus-
| ing laceration and bleeding. He final
! ~ concluded this would be extremely
dangerous to the child, and gave the
| dog enough chloroform to end its eX-
/ istence.
Then he set out to solve the prob
| lem by the use of magnetism. The aid
of Murray c. Godbe, electrical engi-
neer for the Utah Light & Railway
company, was sought. Mr.. 'Godbe
worked night and day on the construc-
ton Of a small and powerful electro
Hmagnet suited to the purpose. Delay
was dangerous, as it was feared an
abscess might form around the nail,
and this would be almost sure to prove
fatal. A straight bar magnet, wound
with almost innumerable coils of fine
wire, was finally completed.
Strong Magnet is Used.
A curved piece of steel was prepared
for insertion into the windpipe to reach
the nail. By touching the piece of
steel to the magnet, the steel also be-
came strongly magnetized. Expert
ments to test its strength showed that,
when the full current was turned on,
a nail chung so powerfully it was diff
ficult to detach the two.
Yesterday morning the child was
brought to DR.. Hosmer's office for the
operation. DR.. Pfoutz assisted DIR.
Hosmer. The windpipe was opened.
and the curved piece of steel was
carefully pushed down until the end
was close to the place where the X-ray
skiagraph had. shown the nail to be.
One pole of the electromagnetic was
then attached to the other end of the
piece of steel, and the current was
turned on, magnetizing the steel.
Instantly a distinct click could be
heard from inside. With great care
the steel was withdrawn, and there,
closely to the lower end, was
the nail.
The opening i'll the windpipe was
closed, and the child was taken to the
home of her grandfather, Judge Cher
ry. There she is getting along splen-
didly.
THE only danger now is that the
nail may have done some damage dur
ing the nearly two weeks it was in the
bronchial tube said DR.. Hosmer. "It |
might have started an abscess, which !
would show it's effects later, but the |
prospects for recovery are excellent" |
