Hence, ' the- only way of removing the ytoifet. insofak' as is known at > present, is by means of surgery.

Acute inflammation of the bancreas is a serious disorder, lienee, prompt removal of the gallstones. when they are discovefed;, is important from the Standfpint of' preventing this condition I . It has also been estimated that’ ; boijt one out of twenty persons Who; have gallstones may develop a malignant tumor of the I'ijcddov. Once tips has, occurred, tile ‘chances of sating a person’s hie hy operation/or by any other method is slight. Disregarding all other complications which‘may occur\ with /gallstones..in the light of the fact th a*, malignant changes may take place, the importance of early operation can be seen. Removal of the infected gallbladder with stones present will also improve the patient’s general , well-being. Thus, when gallstones are present. there should bejio unnecessary delay in having the operat ; on carried out. , QUESTIONS And answers EP.: What is the cause of a furrowed tongue? 1 ' t Answyr: Thif* may be due to an iniection' of the’ tongue.

William Hodge’s tavern had been built to be a center of entertainment. Two big rooms stretched across the house, divided by Ifi hallway that ran from front to the rear. One room was a taproom, the other used for the dances and Jglees and spelldowns and quilting bees which his wife promoted from time to time. ■ • l ' i ? ■ Tdnight guests under the .tavern’s roof were not there for men rymaking. They’d been coming from the Buffalo village all through the day, in the dark of the night before, seeking refuge. Some of the womdn were sick from fright, as well\as exhaustion; Mistress Sabrina had been summoned to care for them. Every bedchamber was occupied, straw had bean brought in and spread on the floor of the ballroom to accommodate arrivals. Mrs. Hodge moved among them gaily as If it were one of her famed parties, serving mugs of hot coffee and platters of cold meat and bread.’ Rhoda, who had come with Toby the day before, helped het but she did not speak, and her face had a white, set look, A man had came from the Bus- ; y . - Tf7

Presently the door opened and Quint came’ through it, with Erron supporting him on one side, Toby on the other, Jennet behind* him. Rhoda let the plate she was 1 carrying crash to the floor. “Darby,” someone cried.

Look at her—she's exhausted.” x - - They looked at Jennet now with admiration. A girl had helped pull the wagon! “Guess she takes after her uncle,” someone said. i Mrs. Wbdge was urging Jennet to eat the hot food she had brought to her. ’"Then I’ll find a bed for you somewhere.
