STITCHES IN HIS HEART
Cause Pneumonia But johnson VIII
Pull Through.

New York, Dec. 20.-After surviving
an operation in which four stitches
were taken in his heart, William John
son developed pleural pneumonia at
Roosevelt hospital and is now again
cOnvalescing. Johnson was taken to
the hospital suffering from an injury
which was at once diagnosed as a stab
wound of the heart. An incision was
made in his side, three of his ribs were
cut through, forming a trap door with
the cartilage attaching the ribs to the
breast bone acting as a hinge The
trap was lowered and it was found that
the diagnosis was correct and that
there was half inch slit in the peri
cardium. This was carefully sewed and
the trap door was replaced. The next
morning Johnson complained of pains
in the lungs and pneumonia rapidly
developed. The doctors, proud of the
heart operation, fought for the mans
life and although at one time death
seemed certain, it. is now announced
that Johnson is on the road to recov-
cry and will surely survive.
