Rubber Tube and Rim
Found in Boys Chest

Richard Lynch, aged FIVE, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas Lynch, near Sum-
mitville, Ind, has suffered constant
pain in his chest since he had double
pneumonia more than a year ago. At
that time he underwent an operation
for relief to his lungs. Some Of the
physicians who examined the lad in
recent months decided his lungs were
no longer affected and that he did not
have heart disease.
One physician recommended that the
boy, should give his lungs vigorous
exercise daily. The exercise apparatus
as rugged up at his home was made of
an inner tube of an automobile tire,
and his parents had him to blow up
the tube frequently. The boy had failed
in this exercise during the last few
days because of great pain that fol
lowed.

Roscoe Besson, both formerly of Sum
mitville, finally made an X-ray exalnin-
alton which disclosed a foreign sub
stance near the heart. An operation

and one-half inch in diameter, with
large safety pin attached cross-wise
at one end of the tube.

the tube had been inserted in the in
cision for the first operation to provide
drainage. A nurse recalled that once
when she dressed the incision she
noticed the drainage tube was MISS

into the lads clothing and been lost.
