Mrs. Grant Warner to Undergo Surgical Operation.

In the hope of saving the life of Mrs. Grant Warner, who has been in failing health fibm pernicious anemia for several months, a blood transfusion operation is to be performed at the Auguatana hospital in Chicago Tuesday mpming. Her son, > Rex Warner, is to give the blood. Sunday both Mrs. Warner and Rex went to Chicago, accompanied by Dr. Washbum, and a specimen of the blood of each was taken for analysis. It is necessary in cases of this kind to ascertain if the blood of one is compatible with the other. If this proves to be the operation will take place. A pint of blood will be drawn from Rex’s arm and then pumped into the arm of his mother. A week or so later another transfusion will be made and it is expected that the two will build the patient up to a point where the spleen can be removed by a very serious operation. This wi)l not be undertaken probably for three weeks. Dr. Norman Percy, the surgeon who is to perform the operations, has hitherto performed four of a similar nature and all are doing very well, two especially well, and this seems the only possibility of saving this splendid lady’s life. The many friends of the patient will hope that the result is her restoration to health. If you want a buggy or carriage, see Hamilton & Kellner. The commencement of the Monnett School for Girls will be held on the evening of June 15th, and Dr. Kirk Walto Robbins, of Lebanon, has been engaged to deliver the address.
