Wonder in Surgery as Lead Piece Is Removed
The London Chronicle reports a 12 year old boy swallowed a half sovereign sized lead piece that passed into the trachea without entering a bronchus. Dr Schroetter removed it without tracheotomy or anesthesia. Roentgen rays located the lead at the fourth rib and a lighted bronchoscope aided removal with pincettes. The operation is said to be the first of its kind without dangerous surgical features. A British aristocrat jailed Tyrwhit son of Baroness Berners, 23, received 12 months hard labor for passing worthless checks after prior arrest and alleged swindle by lenders Monson & Honour. Japanese newspapers and magazines are now published in several US cities using lithography or molding processes.
