many shrewd observers in the course
Of the ages had noted that all heart
wounds did not result In instantaneous
death.
It was not until ten or fifteen years
ago that surgeons began to act upon
this knowledge. In exceptional cases
death did not result Immediately from

of few minutes, few days or a few
weeks. Why not utilize this interval
in an attempt to sew up the wound
Medical history now reports many sue
cessful operations of this kind. An
especially noteworthy one, performed
upon an Alabama negro boy in 1902,
illustrates the resources Of modern
heart surgery.
This boy had been the victim of an
especially nasty stab wound. The knife
had penetrated the apex Of the heart
and passed into the left ventricle, max
ing wound nearly half an inch long.
When the boy was placed on the op-
Grating table in a little negro cabin
the signs of death had already ap-
peared. His feet were cold, and his
face showed signs of the utmost dis
tress. The surgeons made little win

Through this they could readily see the
injured organ, the blood squirting from
the wound at each pulsation. One sur
geon put in his hand, pulled the heart
upward and held it while another
sewed the wound with catgut. The
