M. array of bright CUT OUT STOMACH TO SAVE LIFE OF SUFFESER- Cincinnall Man, Dying ot Cancer, at Last Consents to Submit to Rare Surgi cal Operation. A surgical feat that European ex perts hesitate to perform will be at tempted at the city hospital, Cincin nati, in a few days. The stomach of Adolph Ilugentobler, a mach'iL?, will be removed. Then the sepa.ated sections of the alimentary canal will be united. Hugentobler, who is 46 years old, has long suffersd from cancer of the stomach. Some months ago he went to the hospital, seeking relief, but medicines were of no avail, and, not wishing to submit to the knife, he re turned to his home. Since then he has gradually grown worse, until now he is only a shadow of his former self, and with a knowl edge of his rapidly approaching end. He, however, craves life, and, in his desperation to hold on, he is now willing to grasp at the only straw held out to him that of submitting to an operation which, if successful, will make him an anomaly among men and a freak from a scientific stand point. No medical men, so far a records show, dreamed one could live with out a stomach until, on September 6, 1897, Dr. Carl Schlatter, of the Uni versity of Zurich, removed the stomach of Mrs. Anna Landis, and kept her alive for fourteen months afterward. Later a medical Journal gave an ac count of a case in Germany where the entire stomach and part of the in testines of a 14 year old girl were ex tirpated, the girl living for more than a year afterward. Dr. A. C. Bernays, of St. Louis, duplicated the case, with still mae successful results. Dr. Eringham, of San Francisco, performea a similar operation, but his subjec., Carl Krug er, of Chicago, lived only a short time afterward. Dr. Wilbur Fralick, of New York, entirely extirpated the stomach of D. G. Bodman, of New ark, N. J., and at last accounts the man was still alive. Probably the most lemarkable case of the kind on record is that of Gio vanni Patritti, who was operated on in the San Francisco Hospital in 1 98. Patritti had a cancerous sto r.ac'.i, and the whole orgar was r: t. ov 1 At the time the case w?; w .cheJ with the greatest interest Ly the surgeons of the country, or the natient's recovery was very slow, leav ing doubt as to the outcome of the operation. Patritti, however, got well and at last acounts was working in 1 California vineyard, apparently as comfortable as though he had never kiown a surgeon's knife or lost & stomach. New York Journal. Goal 23 Oeuti a Bucket. Imagine yourself carrying coal ti your stove from a grocery at 23 cents a bucket. Thai's what the masses of people are doing now in Philadelphia, the anthracite region's nearest big city.
