| Keywords: kemp angola methodist alexander kemp alexanderkemp tumor Patient six months after removal of a 47 pound abdominal tumor. This was "...the most spectacular operation, though far from the most difficult, ever performed at our hospital. The tumor had been several years in reaching its final size, when it was so huge that the woman could not rise from her sleeping mat without aid. Her husband was a sailor who reached Portugal three times a year, and who made it a point to visit several churches and shrines there to pray for his wife. When the woman came to our hospital I did not have the courage to attempt the operation at first, and two weeks later I received a visit of another missionary doctor and nurse, a visit such as happens only every three or four years, and together we removed the tumor."
