operated upon at he city hospital for
an ailment which local physicians
have not seen In q quarter Of CEN

suffering excruciating pain, big
lump over the region OF her liver In
dicating the seat of the trouble.
: Yesterday the operation was made,
and the operating surgeon was aston

knife disclosed what Is known as IN
echinococcus cyst Its development Il
due to germ that is only found In the
intestines OF dog, being eventually
lodged in the human body only

On inquiry it was ascertained that
Mrs. Leica was extremely fond OF her
dogs, allowing them to sleep with her
and share the living room. Had the
growth which was the sire Of q mans
hat, been allowed to progress the un-
fortunate woman would have been
