UNDER KNIFE 80 TIMES
In Fourteen Years and Four Years in
the Hospitals.

New York, Feb. 21.=Charles Roraln
submitted, in the German hospital at
Newark \. J., yesterday. to the thirty
second operation that has been per-
formed on one of his legs within four
teen years. The thirty one preceding
operations had taken away almost all
of his leg, and the surgeons found only
a stump yesterday Beside losing his
leg, the operations have cost Roraln
four years time in the hospitals. Most
of the operations have been due to
Rorlan's eagerness to leave the hos
pitfalls in which they were performed,
affording no time for them to heal
properly.
IA years ago. The first operation cost
him only a part of his foot. The sur
geons say he will be fully cured in a
month.
