Surgical Operations at the Maine General
Hospital


Hospital.
1t may be remembered that Mr.. James Nc
Intire of Parsonsfield, had novel operation
performed last March upon his leg for the re-
moval of a malignant tumor, the result OF
the operation proving highly successful. Yes
terday Ed Hubbard of Wiscasset, nephew OF
the Hon. Wales Hubbard, and well known in
this state as lover of and dealer in good
horses had a similar operation performed by
the removal of his leg for malignant disease
that had been developing during the past year.
This operation was made by DR.. Tewksbury,
who is now on service at the Hospital, assisted
by the other members of the surgical staft,-
Drs. Greene, Gordon and Weeks-and wit
messed by other members of the profession and
the students of the Portland Medical School.
We are happy to announce, as informed by
the attendant late last evening, that MIR. Hub
bard was comfortable, full of hope, had good
look, and was ready, as usual, to bid for the
first choice in the pool.
As we speak of this case, we are happy to an
nounce that patients are almost daily being
admitted, and important operations performed.
Monday there was an operation for the extirpa-
tion of the eye for malignant disease, and few
days previous an amputation OF a cancer0us
breast, and other minor operations.
1t must be gratifying to DIR. Tewksbury to
see such evidences of the good which the hos
pital is already doing, for in his inaugural
address as President of the State Medical
Association, in 1868, he first broached the idea
of an institution of this sort. The suggestion
was promptly followed up by him and his
confreres. The next winter they.appeared be-
fore the Legislature, and the state, with COM
mendable wisdom, granted the required aid.
1t must also be source of satisfaction to DR..
Tewksbury to be installed as senior surgeon
and chief of the surgical staff at the opening
of the institution, for which he has done so
much. A well merted distinction is also
shown in the appointment as members OF the
staff of Drs. Green, Gordon and Weeks, whose
arduous and we'll directed efforts have con-
tributed so much to the establishment of the
hospital. The institution has lately been visit
ed by Dr. Hill of Augusta, one of the consult
ing physicians, and by DR.. Brickett of the
same city. Both gentlemen express them
selves highly pleased with its management and
prospects. Patients are coming in from all
quarters.
