4 Boys Life Saved by Successful Sur
gicat Operation.

A surgical operation of rare occurrence
in our vicinity was performed at the Sum-
NIT House Saturday last by DR.. j. Ford
Thompson, of Washington, d. c., assisted
by DR.. Thomas FeatherstOnehaugb, medical
referee of the Pension Bureau, and DR.. w.
Fl. Cannon, of this place. The patient,
Carl Sherman Brandebury, lad of sixteen
and member of the Washington High
School Cadets, while spending few days
vacation at the Summit House was taken
violently i'll on Tuesday morning, the 18th
inst, with something like cholera morbus.
His condition continuing grave DIR. Cannon,
the attending physician, telegraphed his
suspicious to the father of the boy, who had
returned to Washington, which brought up
the latter on the first train with the above
named surgeons. The young man was i'm
medately put under the influence of chic
reform and an examination made, which
revealed appendicitis, a condition that de-
manded the knife at once to save life. The
operation was finished in less than an hour
and the patient has been steadily mending
ever since. In the appendix, a little blind
intestine that is situated near the junction
of the small with the large intestine, was
found two bean shaped concretions and a
grape seed-the cause of all the trouble
There is no doubt many persons have here
tofore died from the same trouble and the
cause has been laid at the door of cholera
morbus or some Of the kindred Diseases
And it is due to the American surgeon to
say that owing to his study and skill we are
able to save our loved ones. DR.. Thompson
returned TO the city an hour or two after the
operation. DR.. Featherstonehaugh remain
ed until the following Monday. DIR. Gan
non has paid the closest attention to the
case, and to his skill in looking after the
patient is due much of the success. Let us
learn lesson from this young lads suffer
ing to be careful and not swallow grape and
other injurious seeds that are liable to re-
suit seriously. -Haper's Ferry Sentinel 1t
appears the only safe way to partake of
grapes is when they are reduced to juice
and that's perilous.

nenfi,ess Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that IS
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inAamed yo1 have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)

That unique personality, Charles Broad
way Rouss, gave, as usual, one day to the
Fair. 1t is safe to say that he and his lunch
are drawing cards of the first magnitude
He is a character of a very refreshing type,
for he has "Auld Lang Syne' always in sub
stantial remembrance. He is as fortunate
as he is generous. and as successful as he is
deserving, He experienced many vicissi-
tudes before he conquered fortune and un-
like many men who rise he never forgets
the friends Of his youth and poverty. Some
one has suggested that he should issue tick
els to his annual lunch, aud his Characters
tic reply was "NO, my lunch must be DEM
ocratic. not aristocratic" For several years
he has given thousand dollars each year
to the fair, and the donation has been of
inestimable service to the institution. Mr..
Rouss in every sense deserves the friendship
and gratitude of the people OF Winchester
and Frederick county, and we are glad to
believe that he possesses more of both than
usually falls to the lot of public benefsctors
Our compliments TO the great-hearted New
York merchant. When the time comes for
him to cross the Great Divide he will have
about him a host of good deeds which We
have always thought the best champions
that a man can rally about him in that I'M
