Severe Operation.

DR.. T. W. Foster and Dr.. L. U.
BoulWare, of this city, were called In
consultation with DR.. Crabtree q few
days ago at the residence OF VIM.
Hooper near Ballard to see Mr.
HeopsE,s son, Clyde, a boy Il years
OF age, who has been suffering for
three or four months with an infiic-
ton of the left ieg. On examination
it was decided that the large bona
from the knee to the ankle was In q
diseased condition and that q surgi.
cal operation was necessary. The
operation was performed by Dr.
Boulware, assisted by Drs. Foster
and Crabtree, and the large bone oil
the leg, which was found to be badly
decomposed, was removed from the
knee to the ankle Joint.
The little boy, although in an ema-
ciated condition from long suffering,
stood the severe operation better
than expected, and last reports from
his heme were to the effect that he
was doing well.
The operation will, as a matter oil
course, render the boy a cripple for
life should he survive.
