BABY WITH EXPOSED HEART

MEDICAL MEN IN PHILIPPINES PUZZLED

Maria C. Rafael, the two-day- old baby girl born with an exposed heart in a maternity clinic in Tondo, in the Philippine Islands, continues to puzzle medical experts there.

The theory advanced by Major General B. Valdes, Philippine Army Chief of Staff and ranking Filipino physician, that an incision might be made in the baby's chest through which the heart might be| eased into normal position appears to have been shattered.

have

NO CAVITY

X-ray pictures showed the ab- sence of a cavity in which the heart may be lodged.

The pictures also discredited the belief that the child may have a second heart. There- fore, it is practically impossible to attempt the operation sug- zested.

The baby's chances of living are definitely meagre. The child's

body remains in the same position it was placed at birth. For several hours following her existence, the heart had no protection of any Bort, except a thin pericardial membrane covering it. Dr. G. del Castillo, the attending physician, however, devised a cover from a glass jar top. Layers of gauze and cotton are used to cushion the glass cover.
