moisture from their faces. 1t was after
an hour of uninterrupted work that the
colon, the large intestine leading from
the stomach, was lifted from its place
and shown to be affected by the cancer
for some portion of its length. The

Then the stomach was lifted from its

1t was from hope to despair. Nobody
