Pin in Appendix Responsible for Mrs. C. S. Chamberlin’s Trouble.

In the Presbyterian hospital in Chicago Monday Mrs. 0 S. Chamberlin was operated on for a tliir« lime and it is thought the didcovery made by the physicians will result in the restoration of her health. Several months ago Mrs. Chamberlin began to decline in health and last June she went to Chicago to undergo an operation for the removal of her appendix. Owing to the formation of an abcess in the location of the appendix it was decided,inadvisable to remove the appendix and the surgeons and specialists that there were symptoms of tuberculosis of the right pelvic bone. A few weeks ago she returned to Chicago, the wound never having healed and underwent a slight operation. Last Saturday she returned and the surgeons determined to make another effort to remove the appendix, which was accomplished and greatly to their surprise they found a pin embedded in the appendix. She remembered having swallowed a pin and the surgeons stated that that was the only manner it could have found lodgment there. The point of the pin was downward and had entered the pelvic bone, where the surgeons feared the tuberculosis condition existed, and about the head of the pin a stony formation had accumulated. The pin had evidently been the cause of all the trouble and prodding the bone whenever she moved caused her great agony. Now that the cause of the trouble has been removed it is thought she will be restored to health. She wiU be compelled to remain at the hospital for some time.
