\ delicate surgical operation was
performed by Or. d. G. Kreul upon the
l-year-Old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs ID.
E. Copp. residing on High street, near
Ripley. The father Of the child is a
well-knoWn blacksmith of this city.
Recently a swelling appeared upon the
child's abdomen and it appeared to
suffer intense pains in the region of
the stomach. DIR. Kreul was summon
ed and came To the conclusion that
either a piece of broken bone or some
foreign article had become imbedded
in the abdomen. 1t was with some
difficulty that the seat of the trouble
was located, and this required an op-
Grafton. The operation revealed a full
length needle imbedded in the flesh
The eye of the needle was within half
an inch from the surface and as soon
as located was easily extracted. The
child is now reported to be recovering
nicely from the effects of the opera
ton. DR.. Krcul believes that at some
time or another the child must have
lain down upon the needle and that
it entered the body from the outer
surface.
