So many times. Rochester. people
are asked If the surgeons at st. Marys
hospital do notSs specialize in thei,
work. To definitely answer such 9
question. would be to pay tribute tc
the operators at Sfhe institution which
would be most distasteful. to them
Once for all let It. be noted that there
are no more modest citizens in Rocl-
ester. and that any personal mention
Of their professional work is distress
ing to them. Persons actuated by an
overwhelming. SENSE Of gratitude or by
jealous motives have no conception &.
this fact, but Rochester people know
or should know, that the surgeons
Rave no other :end in view than to do
the most good to the greatest number
Of people. and wish the personal fac
tor eliminated entirely from the euua-
ton.
The report;shows that disease O.
almost limitless variety. has been met
in the daily routine at the hospital,
and that minor and major operations
have been performed with the sams
care and skill. There have been RI.
corded 3647 abdominal operations DUR
ing the year, OF these 1914 have been
for appendicitis, mot including the
cases where the appendix has been re.
moved in the course of other abdomi-
nal operations, a32 have been opera
tons. or tho. intraperitoneal on the
stomach; 1928. on the intestines; 52s
on the liver ana, the gall bladder; .6se
for hernia in varied forms: and $50
other abdominal operations of a, deli
cate nature. The death rate from
operations within the abdomen has
been but 2:o5 pei: cent during 1908.
st. Mary's hospital opened with a
capacity of forty-five beds. The, in
crease in the. Number of. patients: ha s
made necessary frequent additions to
the original building. The. first was
built in 1893. Five years later an
other annex was Constructed. In 1903

formed at st. Mary's hospital during

contrive to make vast sums, and the
wonder was, as with a clever pick
pocket, why he did not satisfy HIM
self with the brilliant success he could
have made ~legitimately. Every two
or three months during hat time he
communicated with Alicia March. He
had an apparent reason for doing so,
as he represented that the stocks held
for her in his name were always earn
ing dividends, and every letter con-
tanned a check. One of these letters
informed her tina his wife had got a
divorce from him. The poor lady had
in truth been goaded into it. Alicia
March made no reference to this in the
brief replies she sent to his letters.
