Former Resident In Critical Condition.

The wife of Howard Myers of Brook, formerly of Jordan tp., this county, is in a critical condition in a Chicago hospital where she recently underwent an operation for the removal of a breast tumor. It was found after the first operation that cancer germs were present and a more extensive operation was performed a few days later. The Brook Reporter says that the two operations, together was a severe strain upon her and she was very low for a few days but at present is getting along as well as could be expected under the circumstances.
