AB The cases reported in The Journal, one (April 10, 1909) of a darning needle, extracted from epigastrium of an infant, the other (June 5, 1909) of a scarf pin swallowed by an infant and found protruding from the anus, have prompted me to report a case that occurred in my practice last week.History. 
    —A young woman, aged 18, with an acute attack of appendicitis second day complained of a sharp sticking pain over the line dividing the right hypochondriac region from the epigastric region. As there was extreme tenderness over Mr. Burney's point with tympanites, colicky pain and vomiting, pulse 120, temperature 102 F., nothing was thought of this pain, but a diagnosis of acute catarrhal appendicitis was made and immediate operation advised.Operation.
