Opunake Times, Volume IX, Issue 412, 23 August 1898, Page 3

A remarkable operation has been performed by the American surgeons on a corporal who was wounded in the fighting off Santiago. The surgeons removed the entire top of his skull, and extracted a bullet that was embedded in the wall of his skull opposite the point of entrance. They are sanguine that the man will recover. Although perhaps far behind other welladvertised remedies, Teed’s Cough Elixir does its work well, and when once used is always kept in the house. A couple of Antibilious Pills will clear the system from the effects of other injurious things which are lying about in the system. XFor Coughs and Colds.
