HEART ON RIGHT SIDE.
AN ANATOMICAL PUZZLE
SYDNEY, June 24.—hi the strange anatomical make-up of Sydney Dooley, a. packer, of Bankstown, Sydney, the heart is on the right side. In fact, as in tfic case of a New Zealand bov, whose story was related recently, there is said to be a general transposition anatomically. When the world was convulsed by the war the heart of Sydney Dooley proved not only to he on the right side, but in the right place. He minted. One doctor said it looked as ih.v.'gii lie had two hearts. Anyway lie was passed for service, but on another examination ho was passed out as medically unfit and was put on homo service. Dooley is now something of a. curiosity alike for doctors and students. He says that his health has always been good, that lie has done all kinds of manual work, and that he always has a splendid appetite, mid eats like a horse. So it looks as though one can pass comfortably through the woyld. whether his heart is on the left- side or the right side.
