Special to Times-Repupllcan.

Webster City, May 14-That Drs. Fay

napkin up in her abdomen, is the sem
sational charge made by Mrs. G. c..
Gillispie of this city, who has brought
suit for damages in the sum of Sl0,-
900. The pieces Of cloth lay undisturb-
ed for period OF nine months within
her abdominal cavity. unbeknown to

damages, charges Drs. Fay and Shoop
with malpractice for leaving the nap
operation for appendicitis.
On July Is. 1905. Drs. Fay and
Shoop performed an operation for APP
pendicitis upon Mrs. Gillispie at the
Methodist hospital in Des Moines. The
operation was pronounced success
and the woman dismissed after the US
ual time from the institution, suppos-
ed to be in fair way to recovery. She
came home to this city, but her side
continued to give her trouble. The
wound would not heal, but kept dis
charging pus. She became so bad that
she was soon again under the care of
physician, DIR. Belle II. Conrad OF
this city. From the nature Of the
trouble DIR. Conrad did not think all
was right, but continued to treat the
wound to make ii heal over. 1t would
not heal. however, and she finally be-
came satisfied that there was some
thing in the abdominal cavity which
had no place there She decided to re-
open the wound.
Some six weeks ago she made the in
cision and when the abdominal organs

all badly festered and sore, she found
q surgeons napkin. 1t was removed
and Mrs. Gillispie is now fast recov-
ing.
In performing operations for appen-
dicitis and similar troubles, napkins
are used to pack the intestines and
to keep them out of the way In maxi
ing the incisions and removing the APP
pendix. After having completed the
operation these napkins had not ali
been removed. 1t is usual to number
napkins thus used and CHECK" them
in and out OF the wound. In Mrs. Gill
lispie's case, however. one of them
had been overlooked and the wound
sewed up with the napkin inside her.
The case is a peculiar one and caus-
ing great deal of discussion among
physicians and surgeons.
