OF course this case was known about
the neighborhood and among the med

expressed opinions of the case, the
general sentiment being that it was
incurable and that the diseased men,

the life of the patient.
Before you read any further, stop to
think of the state of mind which must

Of this little girl, after their long Pc

left was the choice between manning

After the second operation the pa

would be impossible to say too much
for his care, his attention and his
earnest endeavor. That his system of
practice failed was no fault, of his,
either as regards his efforts or his skill
Every resource of the surgeons art
was exhausted, and his perseverance at
least delayed the proposed amputation
until a new light dawned upon the
medical horizon of Los Angeles and
brought little ray of hope to CLARA

But even DR.. Beckett must have been
discouraged when it at last became
evident that third operation would

although other physicians advised am

Soon after this third operation the
most alarming symptoms arose. And

OF all the people in Los Angeles who

haps the most to be congratulated
Her case, which was partially des-

entity trifing incidents may ruin q
human life and may change it from a

how circumstances sometimes, al
though perhaps rarely, conspire to
snatch a victim of remorseless fate
from a dreadful doom and to change a
day of sorrow to a day of rejoicing

everyone, because it illustrates incl

stated that a, second and more radical
operation would be necessary and that
a portion of the bone must be removed.
On this occasion, as we are informed,
seven OF the best surgeons in Los An
geles, besides DR.. Beckett, diagnosed
the case and agreed that there WAS
cancer of the bone; that 1t could not
be cured, and that smputation was
the only thing to be done, ss it was
clear that delay was simply imperiling
the patients life.
We are informed, and believe that
Drs. Ellis. Rogers Haynes Bros,
Lindley Bros, and one other were
present at all or part of this opera

opinion. These gentlemen stand at
the head of the medical profession in
this city. Their ability and integrity
are unquestioned. They were doubt
less sincere in their diagnosis, and hui
name, although mistaken, in their ad-
vice to smputate the limb.
DR.. Beckett, however, stood out against
the combined verdict Of his associates.
