INFECTED
IN OPERATING DYING
FROM BLOOD POISON

New York, Sept 30-Infected dur
ing the course of operations they were
performing two New York surgeons
lie critically ill with blood poisoning.
Relatives have been called to the
bedside of DR.. Emil Boehm, a young
surgeon attached to the second divi-
sion of Bellevue Hospital. DR.. Boehm
was infected during an operation on
Thursday, in the course of which he
reached out suddenly for some gauze
that lay near him on a table. He did
not see that a knife was under the
on the left thumb. He continued the
operation.
Next day he became i'll and him
self underwent an operation, but his
condition grew steadily worse. DR..
Boehm is 81 years old, a Johns Hop
kins graduate.
The other surgeon infected while
at his work was DIR. Robert J. Nor
rison, Surgeon in Chief of the Will
Hamsburg Hospital. He was hurried
to the hospital yesterday from his
Summer home in Babylon, L. T., suf-
fering from blood poisoning that had
its origin in a tiny needle prick he
had received on the index finger of his
right hand while operating Saturday
night in the case of a baby suffering
from gangrenous appendicitis.
By Sunday night his arm had swol-
len to a marked extent. It was lanced
yesterday, but this brought little re-
lief, and the hopes of his recovery are
faint DR.. Morrison lives at $50
