Going to an Hospital.
Hugh Dennion, of Ridge street, will leave tomorrow morning for the Pennsylvania hospital, Philadelphia, where he will undergo treatment for his left knee. For several years he has suffered from severe pain in that part of his leg, and, although many physicians have examined it, none could give him any relief.
It is known exactly what the trouble is, but it is thought the knee-cap was displaced about fifteen years ago while he was jumping off a train off coal cars.
About ten years ago he went to the University hospital, Philadelphia, where he was put under treatment for some time, but no effectual benefit was derived from the visit. Several physicians have since tried to cure him, but were unsuccessful.
The pain during the past few years was so severe as to cause him to cease work, and recently became much worse. He now intends to place himself under the Pennsylvania doctors in hope of receiving a permanent cure. He will be accompanied to Philadelphia by D. J. Ferry
