Otterville the Theater Of Wonders.

Editor Bazoo:
The wonderful surgical operation lately
performed in Otterville By the doctors Of
S~dalia, and Others, and reported in the
BAzoO OF last week, reminds me Of case
that Came under my treatment in the cum
mer Of 1867. right here in Otterville. The
patient was colored woman over forty
years Of age, and the mother Of large

development, most likely the tubal, which

cavity. But unlike the late reported case,
which understand, fell into the sbdomi-
nal cavity at, near the foil term Of utero.

the full period Of gestasion. But this 20
man Was the subject Of ascitis, which called
for the troear and canula Eve times during
