The firstof these is that bv which 1). R. Iaterson removed a fish hook from thele\el of the boily of the fifth dorsal vertebra of a boy aged thirteenyears. The hook had the usual gut leader aljout nine inches in lengthprojecting from the patients mouth. Dr. Paterson passed the esophago-scope over the gut leader and then threaded a bronchoscopic aspiratingtube over the leader so that when passeil down to the level of the hookthe bulhovis extremity of the aspirating tube fitted into the curve of th-^.

In the event of en-countering a hook that has an eye instead of the gut leader, forcepscould be used to thread a braided silk through the eye and then thedistal end being brought up we would have a double thread coming oiTtthe mouth. Over this double thread the aspirating tube could be passedas was done by Dr. Paterson in his case. In the event of the eye beingtoo large to pass through the as|iirating tube, a similar tube could bereadily constructed for the ptu-posc with a larger lumen, or a flattenedlumen, if necessary. A second method would be to use the pin cuttingforceps. Fig. o-i. These, however, would ;iroIial)l\- not extract the frag-ment, if the barb was buried in the esopha
