AN ACHIEVEMENT OF SORCERY Apopleij Cared by an Incision la the Brain. ALL BEHOLDERS ASTOUNDED Oper.ti.t rerforfied i. X.w Tork Tost Cndaati Hospitat Clot of Blood Siccessf.lljr Reta.retf. Ko-w Tork. Dee. 17. One of th moat notable aunrtcil operations performed re cently, and one which may furnUh a precedent for the treatment of apopletlo cases In whlb the preaaur. of a clot of blood formed on tho brain can be local. lied, took place at the New Tork Post Graduate hospital. Thl operation wa that of trephining, th. cutting of a hoi. In Hie skull of fhe patient, through which th effusM blood resulting from the stroke of apoplexy wa. allowed to escape and It was performed by one of th. vis. Itlrar staff of su-geon. and a local physi cian who lectures nnd operate, at post graduate and other hospitals, before a large body of -lit: -al students, doctor. from si parts of the country, who were (n New York with a view to "broshlng up" on the latest developments In the work of thor prjfojslo-i. The patient waa Henri Chevalier; a French drea.-naknr, M year. old. Che valier . a man of good physique and! at the lime of hi. stroke which occurred De cember l.w as apparently n good health. Mme. Chevallr saM that her husband had been a well man most of his life and had never had rn attack of jpoplexy before, end that one seemed quite unac countable. When iM. Chenralicr wa.. selz-l and his family physician called. It waa seen that he was n a condition of Immediate dan ger. The snrgeon refTed to beforehand an acquaintance of the family physician was called in tn' hour after the arPack. and tiaw that the patltH iw fast dying. Tt -waa dnchled to perform an operation as quk-kly as poeMible. a that tnu the only way to save his life, and to that end he waa removed to tha amphltheatrt; of trie post graduate hospital. The op eration was performed as a part of the usual clmc. witnessed by the physletUns attending itne post era luate school In the hospital. The operating surgeon had sent i tnr . naiM -.e i. 1 o ..-j.t.; BTIIIV'.-. a. " 'consultant he wanted to make l se of. i hut fhe lifter phvii.l.Ki wa- lau In ar,.. riving and so the surgeon went aheaA-t, wftth tils work. As the apopletlc attack had Tentlored M. Chevalier almost totally unconscious by parnlye). of the nerve centers, the effused blood having pene- trwted to all parts of the braln,t very lit tle either hal to be used. The skull wa. trephined wnd The clot of blood formed by the bursting of some of the .mall artertoa on the left aid of the head was allowed to escape. Some thirty seeetids after the brain pressure which was killing the patient tad been removed hh pulse, and rrsplrtfcton wnch had almost stopped began to approach their no.-muf action. From thnt time he ha. steadily improved. Not the slightest setback has occurred to rerteot dfsered;t on the Judgment 'n patients recovery.
