Operation Every I DayToKeepMan | In Charlotte Alive Charlotte. — Earl l.anford Charlotte business man, must undergo an operation* a day to keep alive. ' His case is said by Dr. Gabriel i Tucker, famous bronchoscopic sur i neon of Philadelphia, to be the I 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 means of a string into the bottom 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 weight and a phv sician in Greer. S C . told him his lower esophagus had closed and that he was starving to death Lanford then went to Dr, .Tuck ; er, who performed the singular op eration. An incision was made in Lanford's stomach and he was fed I through a rubber tube for six I months. Then his esophagus was opened bv hydraulic pressure—by Jfhe weight of water -and later Lanford was started to swallowing .a small metal ball. This was increased to its present [size of slightly over 1 1-32 of an ! inch in diameter and each morn* I ing Lanford goes through his tor Ituous routine of swallowing the ball I and pulling It back "Sometimes the ball presses so 1 hard against my hean it knocks me iout." Lanford said | If his esophagus should close en tirely, as it did two years ago It would probably mean Lanford's 'death and so he follows his daily ! morning routine—swallowing the j metal ball to keep from starving.
