    Swallowed a Bobbin

     

    Colebidge, Neb., March 5 - special -

     

    A few days ago a child of William Thorpe, the drayman of this city,

    swallowed, or partly swallowed a sewing machine bobbin.  When an

    attempt was made to extract the bobbin, which had lodged near the

    top of the esophagus, it slipped down beyond the reach of medical

    instruments and lodged again where it reached the stomach.

     

    The child supports life, principally from mile and other nourishing liquids,

     more dense food seems to be obstructed before it reaches the stomach,

    and is repelled by a sickening sensation.
