Extraordinary Finding in Surgical Case
An operation unusual in the annals of surgery was carried out at
the 'Altoona hospital Monday
morning, when physicians removed an {enlarged spleen weighing
in the neighborhood of eight
pounds. When it is known tbat
a normal spleen usually weighs
about four ounce some idea of the
enormous size ot the organ can
be obtained.
The operation was performed
upon Mrs. Lola Hare, of Altoona,
who rallied well following the
Operation and who is expected to
recover. Tbe big gland was
placed in alcohol tor permanent
preservation in the hospital laboratories.
Carry Cards in Pocket
In connection with auto stealing the state police department
has warned automobile owners
not to carry their license cards under tbe seat of tlw car or iu the
side pockets of the car. The only
safe place to carry the cards is in
the owner's pockets. The police
contend that the practice of leaving tbe cards in tbe automobile
preveuts many au auto thiet from
being caught, for tbe card bears
the owner's name, the motor number and other details which might
prove evidence ot ownership.
