THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1397. WESBODY YARDS OF WIRE Forty-five Feet of Silver| Thread Coiled Near Man's Heart, Wonderful Operation to Save the Life of Machinist Dehertoghe. i His Injured Aorta Rendered Service- able by a Remarkable Sur- gical Device. | A surgical overation, remarkable in it- self and wonderful for its so far successful result, has been performed by Dr. C. Had- len Carlson upon Adriun Dehertoghe, a veteran and skillful machinist of this city. Fifteen yards of silver wire, as large around as an ordinary hypodermic needle, | have been introduced into and coiled with- in his aorta, the great arterial channel leading directly from the beart. ‘ Those forty-five feet of wire have been 1n | and have | They were inserted at a saved his life. time when death seemed certain because of complications resultine from a severely ured aorta. It was a desperate chance, but the man took it and became one of the very few who have ever survived such an operation. | Dehertoghe was born in Belgium over fifty-five years ago. For the last twenty- | two years he has lived in San Francisco and worked as a machinist. He now re- sides at 923 McAllister street. At one time he was mployed in the Risdon lron | Works, and subsequently for twelve years he was macainist in the Cyclops Works. Tour years ago he was proprietor of the Alta Mach ine-shops. It wus a year and a half ago that he sus- tained :he injury from which he is now rapidly recovering. ¢ He made ail the metal gates for the Par- rott builaing. Whiie at work in a Steven- son-sireet shop finishing the gates now used at the n Market-street entrance to the Parrott build ng several of the heavy metal structures piled anl leaning | together started to tall, and Dehertoghe, | in an attemvt to save bis nineteen-yvear- old *on, who was working under them, | threw all his weight against the mass, and | in so doing, with uplifted left band, | ed and partly ruptured his aorta. | sever yS thereafter he feli a se- vore pain about the heart, but keot at hi rk. At the expiration of three weeks the pain spread and became so dis- ing that he was compeiied to remain n bed in a cramped position. A great swelling developed over the re- gion of the heart and extended up to and or the lert snouider and down the leit It was accompanied by severe ic pains that rendered rest an 1m Loulit, According to his own story seven phys cians were finaliy at work on him. He was exposed to the X-ray in an attemptto locate his injury and repeated plasters | were applied to the swelling but they | brought no relief. Three mouths ago Dr. Carlson under- took to perform tne operation. The pa- tient was informed thai he could not live three montns as he was, and that he mignt never get up from the operation It was a thousand to one chance he would survive the opera:ion. the wire was inserted a stream of blood spurted nearly to the ceiling of the ating-room at St. Luke’s Hospital. stpart of the case was that the | patient had long been subject to delirium cunsed by the pain he suifered. Fortiue operation he could take neither morpuine nor opium, as they induced a violent mania; so he had 1o endure in conscious- ness tne additional pain during the | twenty minutes the operation lasted. | Technically the patient’s trouble was an aneuri m or saculated tumor of the arte- rial wall. Its development to a rupture of the 2orta was only a question of time with certain and instant death %as the re- sult. The wire was introduced into the disiended or abnormal sac formed in the aorta in order partly to fill it and form there a clot that in time would contract and be absorbed, thereby restoring the channel to 1ts normal formation. Almost from the bour of the operation the patient has improved, and when seeu | Jast night at bis home shad been up and | about for several weeks and was planning | s00Dn to go into the country finuily to re cover his strength.

There was nothing that suggested the confirmations that are of frequent occurrence in the churches. It was a confirmation of those who are nearing the grave. At the Almshouse there were just a score ot aged Catnolics, whose memorie: with their other faculties, were failing. They were good Catholics.

A General Opinion That a Broader System Would Greatly Benefit the State. It is gratifying to all lovers of feir deal- ing to know that there is a general senti- ment in favor of electing the members of the State Board of Equalization at large. ‘l The steps recently tuken to have the law | changeu so that sectionalism in this mat- ter will be abolished are pleasing to most of the prominent citizens who have been mterviewed on the subject. Governor | | Budd and Mayor Puelan have both signi- | fied their willingness 10 do all in their power to have the matter brought to the Legislature in proper form with a view of bringing about an amendment of the laws such as will result in fair dealing all over | the State. It is for the purpose of abol- ishing all forms of sectionalism that the movement has been undertaken, and the matter bas thus far commended it-ell to those who have given it consideration. The foilowing interviews give a good idea of the seneral sentiment: George A. Knight tis a fine idexs 10 4 ve Lie board ciccied at farge.
