eral, the Amphions gave us q musical
much enjoyed. In the
two balloons were sent up with
great success, and dance and concert by
the Amphions, furnished variety to our
Important Surgical Operation.
One day: last week Nick Gender, of
Austin, was brought to this place for
surgical treatment at the hands of DIR.
Powell, and on Thursday the operation
was performed. Mr.. Gender is butcher
by trade, and about three years ago was
hooked by cow in the left side, just be-
low the sixth RIB. For a year or so he
was able to do his work as usual, suffer.
ing but little pain. Two years ago, how
ever, the pain so increased in his side
that he was forced to abandon work. A
large abscess formed and broke near the
site of the original wound. This sinus
was closed by surgical treatment, but pus
continued to form, and again broke sew.
eral inches lower than before. HIS sui:
ferings became so severe and his general
condition so impaired that his life was
desraired Of, and as all symptoms pointed
to deep seated Assesses, which must
soon prove fatal, but one thing remained
TO be done-an heroic operation, as sur
geous express it. DR.. Powell called to
his assistance Drs. Miller, Hvoslef, Mel
son and Britts, and on Thursday afternoon
performed the operations very delicate
and important one. which consisted Of
opening the left side of the chest and re-
moving the internal Assesses. There
were many obstacles in the way Of the
operation, US the chest-wall had collapsed
owing to tho original wound, 50 that the
ribs overlapped each other and had to be
cut away in order to Introduce instru-
ments into the chest. The abscess was
very deep-seated, and tho surgical evil
dence proved that had an operation not
been performed tie man must soon have
died from blood poisoning. The case is
q critical one, but the operation was a
perfect success, and every hope is enter
tanned that the man will recover his form.
