L. Robirtson, county agent. MAN MUST SWALLOW STEEL BALL EVERY DAY TO KEEP ALIVE Charlotte.—Earl Lenford, Char lotte business man, must undergo an operation a day to keep alive. His case is said by Dr. Gabriel Tucker, famous bronchoscopic surgeon of Philadelphia, to be the only one of its kind in the world. Every morning, Lanford must swallow a heavy one-inch metal ball, pull the object down his throat by mean8 of a string into the botton of his stomach, and then pull it back again. Thus he is kept from starving to death. Years ago Lanford found he was rapidly losing weiglht and a physician in Greer, S. C., told him his lower esophagus had closed and that he was starving to death. uamord tnen went to Ur. Tuck er who performed the singular op eration. An incision wag made in, Lanford’s stomach and he was fed through a rubber tube for six months. Then his escophagus was opened by hydr ulic pressure —-by the weight of water—and later Lanford was started to swal lowing a sinkll metal ball. This was increased to its pre sent size of slightly over one and one thirty-second of an inch in diameter and each morning Lan ford goes through his tortuous routine of swallowing the ball •and pulling it back. “Some times the ball presses so hard against my heart, it “knocks me out,” Lanford said. If his escophagu8 should close entirely as it did two years ago, it would probably mean Lanford’g death and so h« follows his daily tnorning routine—swallowing the meta] ball to keep from starving.
