Ex-Soldier Declares He Acquired Gallic Appetite With New Set of Digestive Paraphernalia, and Can’t Stay Sober in Spite of Inhibitions.

LOS ANGELES, Calif., March 17—Local physicians have become intensely interested in the strange case of Victor Murdock, former soldier, who claims a French stomach which he secured as the result of an operation following serious injury in the World War has given him a desire for liquor.

They have asked Murdock to enter a hospital, where he can lie carefully observed and possibly treated so that he will have less trouble in living with his “light wines” digestive organ in this Volsteadian country.
