Professor Herbert Olive crona, has performed over 3,500 brain operations of various kinds in Sweden and abroad. Recently over fifty of Dr. Oilvecrona‘s Swedish and foreign pupils met in Stockholm to celebrate this unique anniversary and to honor their famous teacher whose ultra-mod ern nenro-surgical‘ clinic at the Seraphim Hospital in Stockholm has long been a meeting place for medical scientists from all parts of the world. On this occasion. a special "Olivecrona Society" was also formed. .._$l.50 Per Year Only a few weeks ago Dr. Olive- i crona performed an extremely dif- 1 ficult operation on an eight-yeari old Italian boy. Luigi Frassoni. ‘ which attracted great attention in I the Swedish press. The youngster, had a large brain tumor and thei Italian doctors found it necessary! to seek help from the Swedish specialist. The Swedish Aero transport Company gave the boy and his nurse at free trip from Florence to Stockholm, where the patient was immediately rushed to the hospital. The operation, an ‘unusually intricate one, lasted ‘ :over two hours but proved suc ; cessful. and after ten days the boy ' 'was out of danger and well on his ;way to recovery. I X.
