"PEWIC IN" STII1 PUFFED UP PORTLAND, Ore.. March 25-(P)-Fred Cates. 42, Portland, continued to suffer tonight from his "pneumatic man" ailment technically known as emphysema. His main body cavity was bloat ed to about twice its normal size due to some internal injury to his respiratory system in an automo bile accident here Sunday. While the ailment is somewhat painful, it ordinarily is not particularly serious, Dr. George Cathey, at tending physician, said. Usually it is caused by a rup ture to the lungs, windpipe or broken nose, with the air entering the main body cavity, Dr. Cathey explained. "The usual procedure In a case of this type is to delay for three or four days during which time the air generally seeps out by itself," Dr. Cathey said. "If not, it is necessary to puncture the skin with a needle to allow the air to escape. The latter course is taken only when neeessary, due to the danger of infection."
