Sword swallowers have often lent
themselves to the progress OF medi-
cine and physiology. The Scotch
physician. DIR. Stevens. made num-
Der OF experiments of digestion
through the kindness of a friendly
sword swaIlower.
He caused this fellow to swallow
small metallic tubes pierced with
holes. They were filed with pieces OF
meat When he was ready the
swordsman would disgorge the tubes.
Thus the various stages and degrees
Of digestion were recorded
II is now known Just how long q
throat can be made insensitive to
touch. 1t was discovered by means
of the sword swallowers. Indeed. the
-oesophagoscope"-a tube to look
down into the stomach-the stomach
tube. illumination Of that organ with
tiny electric light, were all learned
from sword swallowers-
The other day DR.. Grossman Of Ber-
lin exhibited a man who was called
'the human aquarium
He had such q huge mouth and so
dilated an oesophagus that he could
swallow a small aquarium In which
were a dozen gold fish. several tad
poles, frogs and other small creatures
He would somersault this In his
stomach. and then disgorge first the
bowl. then the fluid and the lively,
wriggly denizens OF the deep.
Some Of these swallowers have the
power to swallow unbroken hens
eggs. stones, pen-knfves. broken glass
and the like. A patient of Prof. VIII
liam Ha1sted Of Johns Hopkins sew
eral times swallowed several hundred
separate articles Among them were
watches chains. knives. screws. glass.
tacks. nails. stones. crystals and
rings.
Few Of these rare types Of swallow
ers ever have tummy aches. One fell
low, whose name was Henrion. but
who was called "Cassandra," was ac-
customed to swallow live rats. mice
and crabs with the large claws
clipped.
