Remarkable Operation at St. Luke's

Remarkable Operation at St. Luke's
An operation unique in the annals
of modern surgery was performed at
St. Luke's hospital on Wednesday
when surgeons removed tumor from
the chest Of Miss Ida Schmalb, a II
year old girl who had been brot to
the hospital from Orion. 1t was ne
cessary for the surgeons to remove
portion of the sternum or breast
bone as we'll as a section from four
ribs to admit the removal of the
tumor which was fully as large as a
hens egg. The opening so made af-
forded the surgeons and attendants
an opportunity to gaze upon the heart
and large arteries leading to that or
gan as they were fully exposed to
view. The operation was success
in every particular and the patient is
now enjoying perfect freedom of res
piration as we'll as being absolutely
free from the depression caused by
the pressure of the tumor upon the
heart, interfering with the function
ing of that organ.
