A remarkable case has just been re.ported to the French Academy of Medicine. During an attack of typhoid fever a young man swallowed an iron fork B£in. long. The presence of t-his foreign body does not seem to have incommoded his stomach in the slightest, but having recently experienced a prickly sensation in tha epigastrium, he decided to consult a Surgeon, and an operation was performed 78 days after the "accident" took place. The patient is now perfectly well, and without any after effects.
