The Ban Antonio correspondent of, the

story of k wdndecfnl istugioal operation
reeently performed- in >the farmer city.
Satf Antonio contains a wonder the like
6t which cannot be found in the United
States. ft nothing more-or less than a
child t that, instead of
masticating and swallowing its food in
the omul manner, is fed. thßough an

On Saturday last 1 determined to'go'and
see the cliilu for mykelff Thb'ftS# are
as follows; About two yeats ago Mr.
>3. T. Lttraley, at ttiat time living in
'Pennsylvania, had* the miafoctnae to;
have his little daughter > Jessie drink a
solution o£ lie, which* negro woman bad
earoleasly left on tfve table. A lurge
quantity of tho corrosive liquid was
swallpwed. Death is the ceitain result
iu such case*. There have been quite
a number of casus in San Ahtunio,
where children drank concentrated lye,
and survived except ih thia
instable;. The lye destroyed Uie mucous
membrane, and a stricture of the aeso
phagus is formed which means that the
threat least;
the which the goes into the Stomach,
i«t or contracted to susb i
a degree that only liquids, and not'muoh
of them oan pas* through. Jf the ohijd
does not die at- once, it lingers Cor a
year or so and then goes into a oonsup-
position and then penahee' of Mow
starvation. It is impossible for a human
being to live exclusively op fiqqid nour
ishment; bnt where concentrated lye has
been taken there are .particularly
in cdld, damp weather, when the sufferer
cannot even drink milk.* :'All attempts
to open the closed aesophagus are fertile)
hence the sufferer slowly starves to
death/ *■** »*- '/' »»-n
, Such was ths condition of, tfye littje
girl, Jessie Luroley, wpen she was
brought to San Antonio for treatment.
The child w ; as very much em&eiated,
could not sWjAlpw ev»-ti' liquid food for
days at a time. I !#Was the ohly pos
sible chance she had for life; her parents
boueented fchAt the operation-making
opening in the stawaeh should, be at
tempted. The operatiou has been per*
liumediu England, but thin is believed
to he the first time ii has be^p.attempted
in t,he United States. Ypiir correspon
dent cannot give the technical terms, but
can make the modue operandi intelligible
to tlie general reader; AA incision four
inches long wan made a few Inches to
the left of the pit of the stdmaeh, much
stkcMing being required. Through the
ineison the stomach is Beached. The
next part of the operation requires the
most delicato handling inragiuable. It
consists in sewing the stomach to the
wall* of the abdomen, hut the gfeatest
care has to be taken not to penetrate the
jStomach itself. The needle-ami stitches
only penetrate the skin of the stom&clv
xhe 'res'ujt is that the stomdeh,'as the
wound gradually heals, grows to the
Walls of the abdomen.
" 'the patient was put the influ
ence of chloroform, end the operation
sneceaKfnlly performed. .Unfortunately
the child had an attack of ohiljs and fe*«'
or, which had to beoured, which gave it
ft setback.' Th'A operatirrti St%cribed took:

grown on the sides of the abdomen, and
eight (lays ago the final operition in
making a small incision into the stomach,
through which the-food was to pass, was'
pevfoHned, and twice a day during the
patal week a beef steak ont up fine has
been passed with the forceps in 'the
stomach, and the cbild is steadily gain
