He was accompan- ied by his son, Lawrenc>, a young man 17 years of age, who has just recovered sufficiently from a severe and dangerous operation performed on him several weeks ago by Dr. Boulware assisted by Dr. Sun, of Passaic. Mr. West said his son was taken sick very suddenly. He had gone to the bara to feed the stock and was seized with a vomiting speli which continued until he be gan to throw up the contents of his stomach. Dr. Sun was sent for and on examination pronounced the case either a serious obstruction of the stomach or locked bowel. He in- formed the father that nothing short of an operation would save the life of his son. Dr. Boulware was then called and performed the operation, and to the surprise of the phyeicians when an opening was made into the stomach, instead of a locked bowel, a large abscess was found from which a quart or more of cor- ruption was taken out. Again in three weeks the doctors were called to perform a second operation. This time they found tkree distinct pockets on the opposite tide of the stomach filled with puss They were open<d and cleans-d and the young | man soon began to improve. Mr.!
