Anelieaia o Operation n !.

Another delicate and wonderful op-
Grafton was performed in this city yes,
day, by our two prominent colored ply
sicians, Drs. Smith and Henderson, up.
on lady living in the western portion
of the city, and who has been suffering
eight years, from that terrible disease,
gravel. She has been patient nearly
all this time, not only of physicians
here at home but abroad, and not until
now would she consent to an operation
which would end this distressing trou
bic. The physicians were greatly sur
prised at finding sixteen large stones
weighing three and one half ounces.
The largest measured one and hall
inches in length, and the smallest one
half inch in length. Two were as large
a. guinea eggs, the others a little
smaller. To-day the patient is in good
spirits having had two nights OF sound
sleep, something that has not happened
for several years. The doctors should
b. congratulated on their successful op
Grafton, as it was certainly delicate
ons to perform.
