Sew Up Mans Heart;
Peddler Is Recovering
sbeeiol 10 The Telegraph

New York, May 3.-That a remark
able operation, involving the sewing up
of a wound in a mans heart, had been
successfully performed on April 20 at
the Beth Israel Hospital, became
known to-day when it was announced
that the injured man, Israel Ziff, prob
ably would be able to leave the hos
pital in a few days.
Ziff, a. cocoanut peddler, was in the
habit of slicing cocoanuts with a big
knife. On April 20 his knife slipped
and cut through his left breast. Ziff's
clothes stayed the blood at first and he
managed to reach the hospital unaid-
ed. DR.. Alfred A. Schwartz's examina-
ton revealed a deep wound at least an
inch and a half long.
The flow of blood had to be stopped
in the first place and the patient anes-
thetized for the operation. But If the
chest were cut open to check the hem
orrhage the lungs would collapse from
the air pressure on the outside. so
air had in be pumped in until the in
fiation was sufficient to resist the pres
sure from without. The process was
combined with the application of the
anesthetic by the method known as
intertrachial anesthesia
