John Foreman, son of DR.. E. X. Foreman
of Littlestown, on Tuesday last passed sue
ccssful surgical operation at the hands of DR..
Tiffany, the Professor of surgery at the Uni
versity of Maryland, in Baltimore. About
five years ago his right ankle began to
trouble him. AT the time and subsequently
1t was attributed to rheumatism but though
treated for that disease, he seemed to derive
no benefit from it. His ankle was Mt no time
free from pain and last Spring lIe was COM
PEELED to 80 around on crutches for five
weeks. Through the summer he suffered
more or less until towards the end Of last
week the pain became unbcarable and he
went to Baltimore to consult DR.. Tiffany,
who decided that the disease was tuberculo-
sis of the ankle joint and said that heroic
operation would be necessary. On Tuesday
at the University Hospital, he performed the
operation known as excision of the astrals-
gus or ankle joint. Two of the ankle ZONES
were removed in addition. The Professor
pronounced the operation successful.
