state hospital before marriage, noticed
lump growing near the shoulder of
the boy, and at first IL caused them no
uneasiness. Its size kept Increasing,
however. until it was evident that the
obstruction, whatever it was, should be
removed.
Upon examination here, it was found

ment, because il was pressing upon
nerve centers and might in tim, cause
paralysis. The operation was success
full, and 1t will be but a short time
before Master Page will be able to
