Yesterday we Witnessed a most sklilful
operation performed upon the eyes Of
Mrs Scott, nee Paul, by DR.. n. N. Green,
who Is now IN our town. The Doctor wa 6
assisted by DR.. Robert Tate, a gentlaman
who stands high in his profession. Our
citizens know that the unfortunate lady
has been totally blind for long time,
failing to get relief in any quarter. Hear
ing Of her dIsease-Double staphaloma-
and her sad affliction, Dr. Green volun-
teered his services and has done all that
man can do to restore her sight. The left
eye was hopelessly inculeable, while the
right one gave faint CLEAN of hope, al
though heavy thick and rugged fungus
growth had completely formed over its en-
tire service. This foreign growth was
removed yesterday in a few moments and
with but little pain, leaving the pupil and
natural outer-coating of the eye free
/ from all obstruction-in fact, there was
nothing left between day light and the
eye, and it only remains for nature t.
comp lete the restoration of sight, if such
a thing be possible of this, however
the Doctor has his doubts, and he 90 ex
pressed himself as soon as the obstruction
was removed. He, however, will con
tinue to watch the case, and reader al
the assistance possible Ne sincerely
hope and trust that his humane effort
so kindly bestowed, and so scientifically
executed, may prove of incalculable bene
ct to the lady, for it is drear lot in life
indeed, for any one to be deprived o
sight, much less mother with little
children to are for.
