To have a portion of his skull removed, a four-inctumor cut off and the skull bone restored to place, and to be fully conscious all the time, able to answer Im all right to the surgeons inquiries as to whether It hurt, v as the experience of Henry A. Brown at the Beth Israel hospital. The oiieration, wholly successful, is Bald to be remarkable In medical history. Only a local anesthetic was applied. Immediately afterward the patient, who had been suffering for a year from Intense headaches, accompanied by gruduully increasing delirium and partial coma, declared he felt a great relief from the pain. The operation was performed some weeks ago. The officials of the hospital have just made the facts known as the patient had completely recovered Ills faculties and was already enjoying the comforts of convalescence at the Burke foundation In White Plains. Operation Takes Two Hours. The operation was performed by Dr. K. Winfield Key, assisted by Dr. Emil Altman, attending neurologist of the Beth Israel hospital, and Dr. Bemaid Davldoff, the house surgeon. It lasted two hours. The life of the patient had been despaired of. Ills grave had been purchased, and his family reconciled to the fact that he could not live. lie is mnrried and has four children. With hope of his recovery under the usual treatment entirely given up, the physicians at the Beth Israel called in Doctor Key and consulted as to an operation. It was agreed that the general condition of the patient was such that he could not survive a long period under ether, but that an operation under a local anesthetic might possibly be successful. They put it to the patient himself. Would he consent to the local anesthetic? Would he submit willingly to the operation while fully conscious? Brown said he would take the chance. So they placed him on the operating table, and did not even strap him down, in order that he would retain the consciousness that he was doing it all of his own accord. said It was not Louis J. Frank, superintendent of the hospital, explaining It, "but we knew that the chances of success were much better If the patient were of his own free will. Talks During Ordeal. Questions and little words of cheer from the doctors accompanied the operation. Does this hurt? the surgeon would say. No, Im all right, the patient would answer. Or else he would wince and admit that he felt It that time. Well now, thats too bad. We need a little more cocaine then, the doctor There wont be any more would say. of that. Were almost through. The technique of the operation, as described by Doctor Frank, was as follows : After the necessary skin incision was made, a number of holes were bored into the skull. The holes were connected, and the bone and overlaying structures w ere turned down. The dura, or covering of the brain was Incised. The tumor was visualized and then carefully Incised. It was necessary to sacrifice the anterior portion of the frontal lobe of the brain, but this will not affect the mentality of the patient.

The tumor which was removed was 4 inches of an long and 2 inches wide and inch thick. It was of the benign type Great care was exand ercised during this entire procedure. No unnecessary manipulation of any of the vital structures was performed." Doctor Ney, who performed the operation, had wide experience during the war in the removal of shrapnel from the skulls of soldiers under local anesthetics. He served in the French army and later in the American Expeditionary forces. Since then he has advocated the use of local anesthetic for brain surgery. The operation he performed at the Beth Israel is not the first of Its kind, though the tumor removed was unusually large. Seattle Scribe Forgot to Count Meridian Day More and More WV.
