The Crowbar Case.

No story of marvellous brain in

american crowbar case" The Bos-

the bar shot the eyeball out from
behind, protruding it nearly one-half
of its diameter.
Gage was thrown back, gave few
convulsive movements of the extrem-
tiles, but was not unconscious. In
his slightly dazed condition he was
taken to hotel three-quarters of a
mile away. On arrival at the hotel
he dismounted from the conveyance

his person and his bed were drenched

Gould and Pyle relate the story OF
girl of "a whose hair was thus
caught-the entire skull was laid
bare from the margin of the eyelids
in front to the neck in the rear; the
nasal bones were uncovered and
broken; the skin of the eyelids was
removed from within three millime-
ters of their edges. Every vessel and
nerve supplying the scalp was de-
stroyed and hemorrhage was profuse.
The patient was seen three-quarters
of an hour after the injury and the
mangled scalp was thoroughly
washed in warm carbolized water
and stitched back in position after
the hair was cut from the outer SUR
face. Six weeks after the injury
suppuration was still free. and skin
grating was commenced. In all
4,s0o gratis were used, the patient
supplying at different times 1900

variably did better than foreign
gratis. In ten months she had
almost completely recovered and
sight and hearing had returned.
The figures show the extent OF the
injury and the final restoration.

III EADs are commonly known
as fragile, but current opin-
ion and truth are often
widely separated. 1t is sometimes
quite difficult to die of injuries to
the head, even with the most ag-
gressive suicidal intent.
The immediate cause of these re-
Elections is the recent case Of vir-
ginia Brown, the two-year-old baby
who lived for eleven days with a
bullet in her brain. The reports
told that little Virginia played and
prattled happily and suffered no
pain. only occasionally mentioning
that her head hurt. And as she con-
tinued to live the lay world shared
the reported wonder of the attend
ing physician that Virginia's case
was the most remarkable ever. But
the ultimate fatality was less inevi-
table than the seemingly wild ex-
pectation for recovery. Had not in
fection set in Virginia might have
lived the allotted life span. the bull
let in her brain not bothering her.
The histories Of cases of brain in
juries show that the head is hardy
member of the body and that the
tolerance of foreign bodies in the
brain in marvellous. This was amply
verified during the war. DIR. Charles
Chafelin, a British surgeon whose
experience covered 5000 war cases,
says that "all the cases that have
come under our notice went about
without experiencing the least in
convenience from the presence OF
the projectile within their brains
so much so that they We're quite
ignorant that they had such a con-
dition.
This being so. we are of the opin-
ion that given the absence of any
infection, an intro-cerebral projec-
tile does not, of itself. cause any
risk to the patient: therefore. in
nocuous. non-septic foreign bodies
should not be removed"

about everything except politics.
One night he took from his pocket
paper folded to conceal some writ
ing at it's top, and told me to look
at what was exposed. This proved
to be the signatures of a large num-
ber of Republican members of both
houses; enough. certainly, to con-

A few days later Leland Stanford
was elected United States Senator.
The State press accepted the amaz-
ing fact cynically rather than
angrily. But there We're endless
columns of speculation as to how
the sensational dumping of Sargent
and the election of Stanford-the
very symbol of a hated interest

An Astounding Feat.

In the Ncto York Medical Journal
DR.. John Chalmers Da Costa cites
instances of survival for from six
to thirteen years with foreign body
in the brain: he also mentions two
cases of recovery after the removal
of the foreign body-six weeks and
eight months after the respective in
juries. He concludes with the opin-
ion that if death does not follow
from shock or hemorrhage. the pa
tient may recover.
An interesting case is described by
DR.. Henry s. Wieder of Philadelphia
in American Medicine. w. G.. fell
twenty feet from a scaffold and was
hurried to a hospital. His brains
were scattered all over the scalp:
one-fourth of their substance had to
be removed. IT was while remov-
ing this brain tissue and cleaning up
the site of the wound that / was
astounded TO see the man delibe-
rateiy put his right hand into his
hip pocket. pull out a handkerchief.
leisurely wipe the blood from his
face and then replace the handker-
chief
This was the first suspicion" DR..
Wieder comments, I'VE had of the
mans consciousness. We interro-
gated him. He gave his history and
asked us not to inform his family of
his slight injury" w. C. subse-
quentiy died of this slight injury"
Many of the histories are unbe-
lievable and as hair raising as dime
novels. but their source guarantees
their authenticity. Drs. Gould and
Pyle have compiled in their "Anoma-
lies and Pecuiiarities of Medicine"
evidence of the heads hardihood. In
deed, some of the cases remind me
of the story by 0. Henry of the ef-
forts of man 10 be arrested; he did
many things without the law, but he
simply could not get himself arrC.ed.
After these vain endeavors he gave
up hope and walked again the paths
of righteousness-he went to church
and was arrested because he was
there at the wrong time.
Quoting DR.. Dubrisay in the Lon
don journal Lancet, Gould and Pyle
tell the story of a man of forty-four
who. with suicidal intent, drove a
dagger ten centimeters long and one
centimeter wide into his brain. He
had deliberately held the dagger in
his left hand and with a mallet in his
right hand struck the steel several
blows. When seen two hours later
the dagger was sticking out OF his
head, but he claimed that he expert
