Not that they are unskilled in the
profession, but they are liable to over
look small bets, as itwcre. The worst
blunder in this line that ever came UNI
der my notice occurred during an OPP
GRAFTON performed in Chicago hospit-
al by a woman, and which, TO my
knowledge. has never been equalled in
the history OF surgery
"The patient was girl under treat
ment for tumor in the stomach.
After several months OF useless medic
al treatment the female physicians in
charge decided TO resort TO the knife.
Accordingly the victim was placed un-
der the influence OF auHsthetcs, laid
out on slab In the presence of numer-
Gus doctors and nurses OF the female
persuasion, and the carving began.
The maiden was opened in scientific
style and the tumor successfully re-
moved, as were also several large an
tiseptic sponges which had been placed
in the abdominal cavity TO absorb the
blood during the operation.
Then the incision was neatly
stitched with silver wire, the boss sur
geon had rolled down her sleeves and
was receiving congratulations when
young doctress, who had taken the pre-
caution TO count the sponges before and
after using, suddenly exclaimed: oh.
doctor, you have LETT a sponge inside
OF the PATIENT
AT first the doctor shouted the idea
that she could possibly make such
blunder, but as one OF the sponges was
missing, and which a careful search OF
the room failed to discover, she thought
perhaps it might have got lost in the
shuttle. The stitches were removed
and sure enough there lay sponge as
big as halfgrown mud turtle snugly
reposing among the latin arrangements
OF the young woman. The sponge was
rescued and as the surgeon was sewing
the girl together again she calmly re-
marked: I'm glad my attention was
called TO the matter as that sponge is
worth Cd cents. Chicago Times.
