Severe Surgical Operation.

Mrs. S. G. Henderson, who has been very dangerously sick for some time as the result of a fall, underwent a severe and dangerous surgical operation, Wednesday afternoon, performed by Drs. English and Berkley. The operation was rendered esjiecially dangerous in this case from the fact that the patient has a heart difficulty yyhich renders the use of chloroform dangerous for her. The operation was successfully performed but it is yet too soon to pronounce the subject out of danger.
