LESSON FROM EGYPT
ASTONISHING SURGICAL FEATS. REMOVAL OF A CHILD’S LUNG. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, Nov. 12. A series of astonishing operations based on the work of Egyptian doctors 2000 years ago has been accomplished at the Waterloo hospital for children. The operations consist of the removal of part or the whole of a child’s lung when the patient is suffering from either cancer or bronchiectasis. Egyptian surgeons derived considerable knowledge of pulmonary operations through experiments on condemned animals, as Aulus Celous recorded, and the Egyptian practice is now applied to modem surgery.
