GLASS SWALLOWED
Auckland Man’s Experience SUCCESSFUL RECOVERY Dominion Special Service. ' Auckland, September 3. To swallow a splinter of glass, one and a quarter inches in length, which was as sharp as a needle at one end, was the experience of Mr. P. Power, of Dilworth Avenue, Remuera. After four days’ treatment at Auckland Hospital the glass, splinter was recovered. Mr. Power swallowed the splinter while eating jam, and as he was immediately in pain a doctor was called. He was taken to Auckland Hospital, where treatment presented great difficulties. There have been cases of people swallowing nails, and occasionally children have been taken to the Auckland Hospital having swallowed small screws or nails. . Dr. J. W. Craven, superintendent of the hospital, said that Mr. Power’s case was a remarkable one. Under certain treatment he had quickly got well. Sometimes in such cases it was necessary to operate. x
