A SURGEONS BLUNDER.
A well-known surgeon on the staff of the Beaujon Hospital is being sued by a former patient, Mme. Rigoulat (says tha Paris "Daily Mail.") He operated a year ago on Mme. Rigoutfcat, and accidentally left in her, body some three yards of bandages. The woman has undergone another operation, and had the dressings extracted. Some time ago another well-known French surgeon, in operating on a patient, lost one of his rings. He lemembered later that he was wearing it while operating, and the patient had to be re-operated upon, when the missing ring was found. ,So many cases of the kind have occurred during the last few years that they now form the subject of a farce, which is being played at the Grand Guignol Theatre, where a famous surgeon is represented as reoperating on a dozen furrner patients in order to find a probe which he has lost, and cannot remember in which patient's body he has left it. He ultimately finds it in the sugar bowl.
