operation was for appendicitis.
The disease was In the quiescent

the appendix caused the doctor shade
of uneasiness lest he should have made
an error OF diagnosis. The history of
the case being so plain, however, il was
decided to remove the appendix, which

terror was found to be liberated, and
to contain part of a tooth.piclS, which
without doubt was responsible for the
attack.
The case is most interesting one to
medical students, and it is doubtful II
another such is TO be found in the his
tory OF this peculiar disease.
The hospital now contains two pa
tients, which are as many as the present
accommodations will admit of, but
work is being pushed on the upper
floor and it will be placed in readiness
as soon as possible, when it is believed
there will be ample room for all proba-
BILE requirements for number of years.
II will take some little time for the
people OF Cedar City and the surround
ing settlements to fully appreciate the
advantage of having hospital estab-
lished here, with SO competent a
practitioner in charge.
