ExCISION OF THE KIDNEY.
DR.. Weir Successfully Performs
This Delicate %yeratio

Particulars were learned to-day of a
remarkable surgical operation recently
performed by DR.. Robert f. Weir at
the New York Hospital. The operation
consisted Of the complete excelsior of the
right kidney, the technical name Of
which is nephrotomy.
The subject of the operation is n
graduate of Williams College, twenty
six years old. He Is an athlete, and had
never been i'll a day up to the time he
was stricken with pyelonephritis, or
%suppurated Inflammation of the kidney.
Medical statistics show that the re-
moVal OF the kidney for p~yelonephritis
Is attended by about one recovery in

formed at the New York Hospital.
Weir performed the operation in the
presence of many ~well-known surgeons.

loin six inches long, then gradually

removed rendered 1t most dimcult to
reach, but DIR. Wier, aided by three as
sistants, finally laid bare the diseased
kidney and rapidly cut away the sur
rounding tissues.
The most dangerous part of the opera
tlon was the severing of the renal
artery; IT was successfully ligatured
and. the kidney removed. When the
knite wounds were dressed 1t was found
that forty-flve minutes had elapsed
from the time of the first stroke OF
the scalpel.
The patient rapidly recovered from
the anaesthetics. and for twenty-four
hours stimulants were constantly ad-
mlnistered. On the third day he was
resting easily, and he is now pronounced

In Il Bottle Was Not True.

Policeman Clarson, Of the leonard

Street Ferry last evening when he was
accosted by a lal named William Glee-
son, of 425 Greenwich street. Gleason,
with an air Of Importance, handed him a
bottle tightly corked and containing a
slip OF paper. Clarson took the bottle
and the boy to Leonard street station,
where the cork was drawn and the mes
sage taken out. 1t was written on a half
lear torn from an office diary, and was
as follows:
Conn Tubbs has this day Departed
from this earth so good bye. Mr.. DR..
SEM me astray."
Conn Tubbs 'is Roundsman Tubbs,
of the Oak street station. The sergeant
at Leonard street communicated with
the Oak street station. and was Informed
that Conn" had just left his station in
apparently good health and spirits. Late
last night Roundsman Tubbs called at
Leonard street station to thank his
brother officers for the interest displayed
