Skill of OId-Time Surgeon.

Of the skill in surgery Of DR.. Val
entine Mott, it is recorded that in 1928
he performed what is universally al
lowed to be the most difficult feat ever
attempted in surgery. A clergyman
was afflicted with an enormous tumor
in the neck. in which were imbedded
and twisted many Of the great arter'
les. In removing the tumor it was
necessary to take out entire one of the
collar bones, to lay bare the mem
brane inclosing the lungs, to dissect
around arteries displaced by the tu-
NOR and imbedded in it, to apply As
ligatures and re- aove an immense
mass of diseased natter. All this was
done without the aid of chloroform.
The patient survived the operation
and many years afterward continued
to- discharge the duties of his profess
sion.
