AN APOLOGY.

. The Democrat owes an apology to
Mrs. Frank H. Lawrence, because of
an error which we made in reference
to the presiding officer at the Wo-
mems session Of the Farmers Insti-
tute., We said in our account Of the
session that Mrs. F. H. Munson pre-
sided over the meeting last Friday
afternoon, when we should have said
Mrs Lawrence. Mrs: Munson has at
previous institutes presided with
much credit, but this time that honor
belongs to Mrs. Frank Lawrence.

IMPORTANT OPERATION.

The following is taken from one
Of the Cedar Rapids. newspapers re-
garling an operation which j. G. Viii
son of Delhi submitted to last week:
rs There was an important operation
at Mercy hospital, last Friday-one
that was watched with interest by
a number of nurses and physicians.
j.. C. Wilson of Delhi, was on the
table as the result Of an enlarged
spleen. This organ, in normal con-
idition, weighs about eight ounces.
The enlargement had continued un-
til his spleen weighed over five and
half pounds. It had pressed a.
gainst the organs Vi of the stomach,
and there were some troublesome
adhesions: The, condition was such
that the spleen was entirely removed.
The patient is now doing nicely, and
if he recovers, as now seems quite
likely, his case will go down as the
second of it's kind in the medical an
nails Of Iowa. Tho Mayos, with their
extensive practice at Rochester, Min
nesota, only report 19 operations OF
this character. with the number OF
recoveries not detailed" ~
