REMARKABLE SURGICAL OpERAnoN-The Charles

REMARKABLE SURGICAL 0pERArIoN.-The Charles.
ton Courier records remarkable operation in
surgery, performed in thar city on the 18th inst:
The case was one of "Elephantiasis," and ex-
tended from the parieties of the abdomen to the
ground, weighing some nastyeight pounds. 1t had
been increasing in size eight years, but has re-
manned stationary for the last year and half
From the immense size of the tumor, nature was
inadequate to supply it with sufficient quantity
OF blood for its nourshment, so that modification
took place at its lowest extremity, and threaten
ed the life Of the patient" hence the only means
to be adopted for saving the life of the patient was
its speedy removal. This was done at the amphf
theatre Of the South Carolina Medical College,
which was crowded by a large number Of profess
sional as well as non-professional gentlemen. The
negro man was put under the influence Of chloro-
form, and was totally insensible to ali pain. The
tumor was successfully removed by DR.. W. Myddle-
ton Michel in one hour. When the patient reco-
vered from the sleep which that niagnam donum
dei, chloreform, produced, be was not aware that
the operation had been performed. so perfect was
the insensibility produced by its inhalations.
