Hack to its normal appearance is (

was converted two weeks ago for the ;

The last operation at this clinic,
look place Thursday afternoon at
.1:15 o'clock, marking the completion,
of the 169th operation without one1
serious mtehup. Apparently every1
patient operated on is now doing
nicely, according to Dr. W. W, Saw-:
yer, who performed the operations,
and all are seemingly on the way to
rf'mnnlete recovery.
Eighty of the operations, or almost j
half of them, were free, the parents;
of the children in these cases not be-;

.$12.50. However, a much (larger per :

had it not been for the State clinic.
The State tonsil-adenoid clinic
goes from county to county and cov
ers the entire State about every three ,
years. The clinic here, owing to the;
geographic situation of Elizabeth
City and to lack of necessary faeill-'
lies in the counties of Camden and;
Currituck, was for these two counties
;is well as Pasquotank. Interesting
light is cast on the situation in these
three counties when it is remembered
that Miss Williams inspected in
these three counties approximately
3500 school children and found 951
them in need of
operations for
of
adenoids or diseased tonsils.
