GLASS IN JAM.
MAN SWALLOWS SPLINTER. ~~~~ ~~ ■ * To swallow a splinter of glass one and a quarter inches in length which was ae sharp as a nbudlo at one end was the experience of Mr. P. Power, of 14, Dilworth Avenue, Remuera, last Sunday evening. After four days' treatment at the Auckland Hospital the glass splinter was recovered. Mr. Power swallowed the splinter while eating jam and as ho was immediately in pain a doctor was called. Mr, Power was taken to the Auckland Hospital, where the treatment presented great difficulties. There have been cases of people swallowing nails, and occasionally phiklren have been taken to the Auckland Hospital having swallowed small screws or nails. Dr. J. W. Craven, superintendent of the hospital, said Mr. Power's case was a remarkable one. Under, a certain treatment, he had quickly got well. Sometimes, in such casee, it was necessary to operate.
