Show Snrgical Operation. Yesterday tho Drs. Benedict, in the presence of Drs. Fowler and Hamilton, Hamil-ton, removed a large fibroid tumor from the neck, just below the ear. It extended deeply among the blood vessels of the neck, and its removal was an operation of grert responsibility responsi-bility and required the nicest skill on the part of the operating surgeon. The subject of this critical operation was Mr. Eben F. Miles, of Salisbury, Connecticut, who is on a trip to the Pacific coast, and stopped with the Benedicts who were acquainted with him in the east for the purpose of having the operation performed, which was in every way successful. We congratulate tbe gentleman on getting rid of so unpleasant and dangerous dan-gerous a pet. The tumor was about the size of a goose esg and very irregular. |
