When on Saturday last, we spoke of the successful removal of the ovarian tumor from Mrs. A. Lohr, and the hopes entertained of her final recovery, we indicated doubts as to the realization of the hopes.
Like nine out of every ten women who subject themselves to the operation, Mr. Lohr was unable to rally and on Monday evening last, despite the most skillful medical attention Chicago could furnish, she died.
While her death will be deeply and sincerely mourned, it is true nevertheless, that her affliction was one for which there is no known cure. It was her special desire, we understand, to undergo the operation.
Without it her existence would have been prolonged but a few months. The operation could do nothing more than hasten the inevitable, and it offered the only known way to reach a cure. The body, in charge of the bereaved husband, will be brought to Cairo today, at 2 o'clock p.m. Funeral notice tomorrow.
