strange case to watch as little Maria
Br1cia grows up to womanhood.
DR.. W. n. Campbell, who with DR.. A.
Palmer Dudley. performed the operation
upon Maria Bricla, says: DIR. Dudley,
to whom the credit is due, achieved phe-
nomenal success in this instance. The
babe was brought to the hospital on the
day of its birth, suffering from occipital
hydrocephalocele or a cerebral tumor.
1T was a wezened babe-more like a
mummy than living child.~It cried con-
stantly. The head was small and I'M
symmetrical. The tumor was twice the
size of the head, attached at the back Of
the neck. Usually these children ole at
birth. Occasionally they livefo a few
days.
In the history OF surgery the operation
or removing this growth has been only
twice successfully performed. Bergman
mentions these two cases as occurring at
st. Petersburg.
Five days after its admittance to the
hospital the operation was performed.
We did not give any anaesthetic The
babe suffered no pain. There was vio-
lent contraction of the muscles on the
right side Of, the face and body, and a
very slight contraction of the muscles Of
the left side.
'The child lived For the first time
this most delicate and dicult operation
mad been successfully performed in
America.
I'VE found that the outer sack Of the
tumor was filed with fluid Within this

an ounce of gray matter. This gray mat
ter was part of the brain.

er sight hearing or speech will be in any
way affected. Just what ffeect the oDer-
alton may have upon the child's mental
ity or if there will be any character mod
ifications resulting from the loss of brain
tissue from that particular region. I am
unable to say. Speculation of that kind
belong to the realm of metaphysics.
From a medical point of view we have
everything that we attempt
ed and for more than we expected. Ger
tainly the child will not be possessed of
the full mental vigor that otherwise
might have been her portion. Science
sometimes triumphs when nature suf-
fers. AS far as looks are concerned there
will be only slight scar at the base of

by him ever since. Mr.. Brock is a dig
nified old gentleman, showing few signs
of decrepitude. His family Bibleis still
preserved, and it shows that the date of
his birth was written III years ago.
Surely few words from this remarka-
bic old gentleman, who has had Ill years
ofexperience to draw from, would be in

biographical sketch is given of this
remarkable old man in the Waco Times
Herald, Dec. 4, 1898. a still more pre-
tentious biography of this, the oldest
living man, illustrated with double
column portrait, was given the readers
of the Dallas Morning News, dated Dee
II, 1898, and also the Chicago Times
Herald of same date. This centenarian
is an ardent friend of Pe-ru-na, having
used it many years.
In speaking of his good health and
extreme old age, Mr.. Brock says:
"After a man has lived in the world as
long as have, he ought to have found
out great many things by experience.

same and that they are properly called
catarrh.

greatest remedy Of this age for catarrhal
