CASE'

The amazing story of a man who awnllowed 500 articles, including spoons, knives, meat hooks, a span- ner, and safety pins, under the delusion that "his stomach was too amooth" is told in the British Medical Journal.

The patient, a single man, ai farmer aged 28, was admitted to the County Mental Hospital, Upton, Chester, as a temporary patient. He was X-rayed, when the mass of articles was noticed, and was later operated upon, when some of the articles were removed. Great diffi- cuity was experienced to avoid bringing out too many of the for eign bodies, as they were matted, and the extraordinary diversity of form of the, articles necessitated much care. Large masses of tissue' almost burled fanny of the articles.
