The case inques tion was that of a showman, aged twenty-two who termed himself the "Human Ostrich," He had followed the business of swallowing glass, metals and other objects at private and public exhibitions for a number of years. The accumulation of these bodies finally produced acute pains, which caused the patient to pre- sent himself at the hospital for relief. The question as to whether the articles were in the stomach or had shifted elsewhere being a very important one from an operative standpoint, it was decided to determine their exact locations by means of the X-rays A "shadowgraph was, therefore, made, by which a dark spot some five to six inches in diameter was clearly outlined in the stomach. Having located the mass, the operation was proceeded with. The following articles wore taken out: Thirty-seven one and two-inch wire fence nails, twenty-seven barbed wire fence staples, twenty-one o‘32 and 0.38 calibro, cartridges, two pocket-knife blades, fifteen one and two-inch screws, six two-inch horseshoe nails, fifty-one.wire nails, one half to two inches long, a piece of chain eight inches in length, besides pieces of glass and broken lamp chimneys. The whole mass weighed over two pounds, and is said to be the greatest amount of foreign objects ever taken from the stomach of a living person. The time of the operation was one hour. The man recovered in a few days, and whether he resumed his dangerous swallowing feats is not known.
