Show REMOVING A TUMOR. For six or seven years past, our respectable townsman, David B. Lamoreaux, proprietor of the People's Drug Store, has been seriously affected with a large sebaceous tumor on his back, near the left shoulder blade. It has caused him considerable pain and annoyance; and has been growing rapidly of late. Yesterday forenoon the growth was removed by Doctor Ormsby. An incision of about six and a half inches was made in the patient's back, and the whole tumor was successfully taken out. The operation was rendered an extremely intricate one because the growth was fastened upon some of the principal muscles, and because of its proximity to the spine. |
