with all the comforts that can be afforded
at the hospital, and. fortunately, the
hospital is one Of the best-equipped in
the country. II is located in portion OF
the city where breezes blow II there Is
any air stirring.
As heretofore mentioned. the right leg
of DR.. Cabell was amputated several
inches above the ankle. and the operation
was performed by several OF the most
skilled surgeons in Washington. They
are daily in attendance and so far there
has been nothing to indicate that DR. Ca
bell is not progressing as fayorably as
could be expected.
The injuries to the left foot and leg
were not serious.
