Victor Hogarth is again, in Christie St. Hospital, Toronto, where he has undergone a second .operation on his spine. Mr. Hogarth entered the 'hospital ion July 25th and on August 6th he underwent an operation for the removal of eleven inches of the spine and this was re­ placed by 11 incihes of bone taken from the right leg and grafted to the spine. He was placed in a plaster cast where _he will remain for sever­ al months until the >bones have knit. This de one of the outstanding sur­ gical operations and it is the second one for <M.r. Hogarth. In October, 1933, in the same hospital Mr. Ho­ garth, a veteran of the Great War, underwent a similiar operation when ten inches of bone from the left leg was grafted to the spine. At that time owing to hie otherwise splen­ did physical condition Mr. Hogarth made a remarkable recovery and in six months his condition had improv­ ed to what in most cases, would have taken double that time. He returned to his home in town and with reas­ onable care was Able to enjoy life being around again as usual. One evening while sitting .on the side of the bed and in the act of taking off his shoes the <bone cracked. . Just What a disappointment this was to Mr. Hogarth few can realize because the months of pain and suffering while the bones were knitting and the leg healing was beyond des­ cription and through it all Mr, Ho­ garth !had maintained the best .of spirits. To go through it all again required considerable courage. Now after several months hei is again in hospital and it is to be hoped that the same grim determination which 'brought him through so successfully in 193'3 will be with him at this time He will have the best Wishes of his many friends here.
