SURGICAL OPERATION or OvARlArouY.-
Ore Of the most difficult and dangerous op-
erations in Surgery was performed on Fri
day last, (22d inst.) BY DR.. Grover, assisted
BY Drs. Bracksts, weslsy, Dow and Kunss,
on Msrish L. Hoage. at che house Of Mrs.
L. E. Dow, Clairvoyant physician, corner
Of Fifteenth and Brady streets, in this city.
and appears to be perfect suceess. Mas
Hoage put herself under the care and msdi-
cal treatment Of Mrs. Dow some fifteen
weeks ago, after having consulted eight
physicians, some Of whom expressed opin
ions dsrogatory to her innocence, but none
Of them seemed to understand the real ma
turs Of her ailment. As soon - she came
within the range Of Mrs. Dow's clairvoyant
perception she pronounced it tumor. DR..
Grove was called in, and on the ground of q
diagnosis given BY Mrs. Dow, operated sev.
eral times on the tumor, taking from it large
quantities Of matter, and on the day above
mentioned he extracted the tumor, which,
with its contents, weighed 25 pounds.
In character it is what Surgeons call
lNaltiioculdr, and contained in ito vsrieus
cysts Pus, Cerum. and . Gelatinous or Al,
luminous fluid. Much praise 10 due to the
skill and self-possession manifested BY DR..
Grover and the womanly coursgs Of the
patient, though he attests that the success
Of the whole affair is due to the Clairvoys
ast diasaos,s given BY Mrs. Dow. At ou,
latest accounts the patient was doing well
and WAS in tair way to recover. II this op
