New York, Doo. 21. When two-
year-old DoroiHy Tfescii, of Wood
haven, swallowed a safety pin, and
. her frantic parents were informed
that the sorvices of a surgeon would
be required to remove It from Its
perilous position near the heart they
quailed at the thought.
Conjured up in their minds were
razor-edged scalpels, slicing tiirough
quivering flesh and tho spilling of
baby blood.
As a matter of fact the "opera
tion" took about fifteen minutes and
was virtually painloss. :
The little girl bravely entored tho
operating room, clinging to hue
mother's hand and carrying her doll.
Stretchod on the table the c.iild
was g'ven an anaesthetic.
With deft fingers tho stirgr.n.
who had carefully "chartered 'his
course" after study'ng X-ray photo
graphio plrtos of fie pin's location,
inserted a silver tubo in Dorothy's
throat, slowly moving it downward
until the pin was encountered. A
delicate twisting motion and the pin
wrs removed.
Dorothy suffered, virtually no Ml
effects.
