STITCHES TAKEN IN
HEART, STILL LIVES
Rare Operation Performed in
Brooklyn Hospital

New York, July 19.-Frank Far
mo- 10 years old, was sent to Holy
Family hospital, Brooklyn, yesterday
with a knife wound in his heart, the
result of an accident in which he
fell upon a long knife he was using
he was unconscious, and the ambu-
lance surgeon who was attending him
oeIleved he could not live more than
n1teen minutes. But Farino was
awe last night having survived an
operation, which, according to the
surgeons who performed it, has been
fesorted to only twice previously in
the history of surgery. The perfora-
ton in the boys heart was stitched
The operation, which required ex-
IRENE delicacy in the use of the sur
gical needles and anaesthetics, con-
sisted of opening the boys chest and
placing four stitches in the torn
heart muscles.
When the boy was taken into the
hospital DR.. James M. Downey of 3S1
Clinton street, a visiting surgeon, and
DR.. George J. Doyle, house surgeon,
went to the emergency ward to ex-
anime him. The wound on the sur
lace VI Tie CnGSI was merely a mar
row one, but inside the chest wall it
was found that the knife, the blade
of which was seventeen inches long
had opened the heart. AS they con-
tinued the examination Farino's respi-
ration changed to a series of gasps.
Quickly the two surgeons went to
work. They had the boy taken up to
the operating room. An anaesthetic
was administered and then the cut
through the chest wall was made
Next they attacked the most serious
problem in the operation. They had
to wait until the heart was contracted
to place stitch. The contra elton
came at the end of each full beat, but
young Farino had lost SO much blood
and was so weak that the n1ovem ent
| OF the heart was scarcely noticeable.
At the end Of fifteen minutes, how
ever, the operation was completed and
| the boy was taken from the operat-
| ing room to recover from the anaes-
| thetic. Ifast night-he was showing
improvement and had a temperature
OF SO IL and pulse of Ito. He was
| permitted to have orange juice and
cracked ice.
Farino, whose home is at 553 Union
street, is employed as a paper sorter
for Joseph Marrone of 179 Joralemon
street, at the department of street
cleaning dump at the foot of Sixth
| street. The knife upon which he fell
is used in opening bundles of waste
paper and rags.
