SURGEON HAS AN ACCIDENT
Scratches Finger During Operation.
Dr. H. E. Sharrer, one of Hammond's well-known physicians and surgeons, is congratulating himself today that he has made as quick a recovery as he did from a painful and dangerous infection that afflicted him last Monday shortly after an operation he was conducting. He pricked the index finger of his left hand during the operation and pus infection followed. His hand and forearm became swollen and he was compelled to stop his practice for a week. He was at his office this morning greatly improved. The infection has subsided and complete recovery is believed to be but a matter of a short time.
