MANS JAWS
LOCKED
26 YEARS

New York. Sept. 16.-One OF the rarest
operations known 10 surgery vas per-
formed Thursday by Or. Andrew l.. Nell
den. in 81. Gregory's hospital in Gold
street. The jaws OF a man that had been
grown together for 26 years were cut open.
so that within a few days ne will be able
10 eat his first solid meal since he was
a hid He could not remember ever hav-
ing eaten like other folks.
The patient IS William Case. rs years
old. Of p Stoddart street. Oneida, y. y,
who IS employed in a cannery in that city.
DR.. Nelde was assisted in the opera
ton by DR.. G.. III. Duncan. house sur
geon OF ST. Gergory's. In early boyhood
Case was attacked by lockjaw, and his
life was despaired Of.
AS a last resort he was given heavy
doses OF mercury. He survived the lock-
Jaw, but the mercury caused an excessive
salvation OF the mouth. so that his jaws
remained closed. although they were no
longer what surgeons call locked"
The process OF slivation involved the
upper and lower jaws on the right side
Of the face in extensive alterations, which
extended 10 the inside surface Of the
cheek. In time the right Jaws literally
grew together. the gum Of the jaws and
the kin of the cheek becoming one solid
mass Of flesh, In which the upper and
lower teeth were deeply imbedded.
Several OF the front teeth were knocked
out in order 10 administer liquid food to
young Case. Gradually he became ac-
customed to this mode Of existence, and
as his family were poor no surgeon was
ever called in to attempt to remedy his
strange condition.
AS he grew up he learned TO articulate
with tolerable dlstinctness. He was the
better enabled 10 talk partly because his
left Jaws never closed. Their movement
was scarcely perceptible though.
Case married some years ago, and his
wife set about ameliorating his condition
to some extent. She got a steel chopper.
such as is used In hotel kitchens. and
with this she cut meat and vegetables
into a fine mass, which was fed 10 Case
through the aperture where tho 'front.'
teeth had been knocked out. Mrs. case
broke her hose in an accident and under
went al operation at the hands OF DR..
Nelden. 10 whom she spoke OF her hus-
bands affliction.
Case was brought 10 this city from
oneida and transferred 10 ST. Gregory's
hospital. where he was operated on. Or.
Nelden first tried TO cut open the jaw with
an ordinary fine surgeons knife, but find
ing that inadequate used a heavy bore
f"rceps which cut through the solid
mass OF flesh and muscles. Three OF the
teeth Of the upper right jaw were re-
moved and the tops OF roLr OF the lower
teeth were sawed of. The jaws were
sawed apart back 10 the hinge.
Cases mouth was then opened for the
first time in 26 years. lie was still un-
conscious and did not realize what had
happened. The stumps OF the ~sawed-off
teeth will be pulled I'm a few days and
at the end OF two weeks Case will be
able TO eat and talk like the ordinary
person.

a tiny blossom grew.
With soft, sweet, velvet petals
And little heart OF blue;
a hot and rocky Granny
The only soil it knew.
And yet IL never murmured.
There on its sterile height.
But glorihed the crevice
That patience made so bright.
In summers golden daytime
Or winters silver night.
No life is all so barren
But some green spot is there,
Some memory its perfume.
Some hope that maeks II fair.
And sheds its sweet aroma
Around 1t like a prayer.
And yet another lesson
That | have not forgot.

About some desert spot
And feel n new contentment.
