denee Hospital was yesterday morning thrOnged
with members Of the medical fraternity, among
whom were Drs. A. w. Miller, Mccoy and
Dooley. Of this city, and Dr. Grafton Tyler, of
Georgetown, to witness two interesting surgical
operations
The first case was that Of Mr.. Daniel Simonds,
well known to all the residents of Capitol Hill,
and who has been for some months suffering
with pOplital aneurism. He was put under the
influence OF chloroform, and in less than fifteen
minutes the femoral artery was successfully
ilgated, and with so little pain to the pat ent
that ON recovering he quantity asked: well,
when are you going to do it?'
The other case was lat of Henry Kaiser, aged
aeout 70, who was formerly me ssenger in the
treasury Department, and has been about
seven months in the hospital, suffering with
zsoTSUs cordJiUs, disease of the hip joint. The
patient had on several occasions heretofore,
while stIong and hearty, refused to submit tO an
oreIatlon but his failing appetite and depressed
spirits of late combined to change his determi-
nation, in order ~ save his life. So the resec-
tion of the femuT was resOrted to, as the only
means OF saving the life of the patient. whose
chances are very slim, however a. il was found
necessary TO take out about four inches of dis
eased bone, and the wound made TO reach the
