A Correction.

Editor Times Republican. The fol-
lowing sentences in the last issue OF
the Reflector are misleading: The
sudden and unlocked for death of Miss
Aleene Patterson, coming as it did at a
time when there seemed no doubt OF
ner recovery from an operation, etc.
She seemed to4improve rap
idly until Friday afternoon. when death
came so unexpectedly
Before the patient was moved to the
hospital the authorities of that institu-
ton We're informed by the surgeon who
performed the operation that 1t was a
most serious case and that there were
only slight hopes that the operation
would prolong the life of the patient
For this reason both the family sur
were at the beside of the patient from
the time she was moved to the hospi-
tai until death relieved her of her af-
Fiction.
All the members of the Patterson
family feel deeply Indebted to the kind
ly ministrations of the sisters and
nurses OF st. Thomas hospital. in re-
gard to their dear departed relative.
The patient did not Improve rapidly"
nor was death so unexpected.
In regard to the death OF Mrs. Bitt-
ner of Liscomb. which occurred at the
hospital week ago, the authorities of
the institution We're told by the sur
geon who performed the operation that
the patient had only one chance in a
hundred of recovery. whereas there
was no chance at all IL the surgical OPP
Grafton was not performed. This has
been the reason for most of the deaths
in the hospital. The patients post
poned the surgical operations until there
was little or no hope of recovery. A
few years ago we read of persons dy-
ing from Inflammation of the bowels;
now such patients have an operation
for appendicitis. and in every case re-
cover II the operation is performed in
time. Since the opening of ST. Thorn
as hospital only one patient out of
every thirty treated in that institution
has died. which is splendid record for
the sisters and surgeons of our city.
