LOSES APPENDIX by MISTAKE.
Although Accident Turned Out To Be
Fortunate One.

Harrisburg, Pa.-Rose Cohen, an
eight-year-old girl, is convalescing in
the Harrisburg hospital after having
been operated on for appendicitis by
mistake. The child and her eleven
year-old brother were sent to the in
stitut4on suffering with enlarged tom
sils.
In some unexplained manner the
girl was given an anaesthetic and her
appendix was taken out. The surgeons
say that the appendix was somewhat
infamed and they did not discover
their mistake until the parents called.
The humorous feature of the case
is the assertion that the condition
of the little girls appendix showed
that she would have developed appen-
dicitis any wav, and that the opera
ton, therefore, was fortunate mis-
take.
