A REMARKABLE OPERATION.

An operation which the attending
physician declared opened up a new
field to surgical science was performed
at the French Hospital, in West Thirty
fourth street, New York, recently, ou
g woman who had accidentally swallowed
two taeks three-fourth of an inch long.
The tscks had settled, one in each
lang. To save the woman's life 1t
was necessary to remove the tacks.
pr. Jackson, of the Pittsburg Eye aud
Ear Hospital, successfully performed
this operation. DR.. Jackson used q
bronchoscope, q delicste instrument
fitted with a series OF tiny mirrors.
With this instrument the bronchial tube
of the patient was penetrated. The
instrument is a tube, and through this
fine forceps were operated. Guided by
the x.rsy pictures, which showed the
exact location OF each tack, and the
bronchoscOpe, the tiny tOrceps were
brought into contact with one of the
tscks, and after delicate manipulation
the piece OF metal was gripped by one
end and drawn safely up. The same
success attended the removal of the
second tack. DR.. Jackson was assisted
by several physicians while Others
watched the opsIation.
