Plank, grave and pale, went out into

For the first time in all his life he was
afraid of man.

The man he was afraid Of had gone

R.mov. Part Of Mans Intestines.

Clinton.-The saving skill of the
modern physician finds splendid eN-
emplification in the outcome Of an
operation performed at Agatha hospi-
tai upon Henry Boettger Of LoWden,
aged 65 years. The LoWden man was
brought to Clinton last Tuesday
morning, suffering from gangrene of
the intestines, and in what we be-
lieved to be a hopeless condition.
Rallying from the effects of an UNI
usual operation to which the hospi-
tai physicians resorted, Mr.. Boettger
today is in a far way to recovery. He
is still weak, and is not out of danger
by any means; but his chances of re-
covery have improved wonderfully
since the operation was performed.
The chance the LoWden man had
to live was indeed a slight one. The
surgeons held consultation, and de-
cided that there was one chance for
the patient. This was to remove as
much of the intestines as was affected
by the gangrene. The LoWden man was
placed on the operating table, and four
feet of the intestines was removed.
The operation gives every indica-
ton of proving a complete success.

family were at church. In exactly the
