DR.. SMART and DIR. Hannberg have
made an operation for which due cred
it should be given them. For a long
time Mrs. Ed. Kimber of the Second
Ward has been suffering from cast in
one of her eyes and great pain has been
The result. The two doctors were con-
suited about the case. and after due de-
liberation, they decided to remove the
eve and replace it with a glass one,
which they did successfully and without
the loss of an hours sleep. Very little
pain has been caused ard the lady has
gone about her work as usual. The eve
was practically useless so that its re-
Inoyal does not discommode Mrs. Kim
Der. in the least. Considerable skill
must have been used as the lady saws
that the operation was no more painful
than that occasioned by the cast.
