CHILD SWALLOWS A COIN
RECOVERED AFTER EIGHT MONTHS. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. A noteworthy surgical operation was performed in Auckland a few days ago. Eight months ago a child was stated to have swallowed ha;lf-a-crown. The medical man who made an examination concluded the statement was unfounded. The child seemingly recovered, but a month ago it again became ill, and was again presented for medical examination. This time, the Rontgen Rays were brought into use, and the medical practitioner discovered the half-crown embedded in the lower portion of the sufferer's gullet. A tube was inserted, into which was placed a pair of pincers, and with the latter the coin was seized and successfully extracted. The child has completely recovered.
