menced his usual rigid course OF cate

Graves Tells the Story. N
DR.. Graves took the stand. and i'm q
very deliberate and clear manner gave
the history of the affair from start to
finish. He told how he had been in
troduced to Gammage; the latter
about week later approaching
and telling him that he was afflicted
with disease that was giving him
q great deal OF trouble; his advising
him that there were only two courses
of treatment which would effect q
cure; the performing OF an operation
and the application OF electrical treat
nrent The former DIR. Graves could
do. but the latter he could not. DIR.
Graves told him that he thought the
electrical treatment would be the best
and referred him to DR.. Hoyt. Gam
mage received one treatment from DIR.
Hoyt and then sent for DR.. Graves and
said that he would not allow DR.. Hoyt
TO treat him any longer. Gammsge
then made overtures to DR.. Graves and
as a result arrangements were made
for him to take room at st. Marks
hospital. Gammage had been in the
hospital several days when, at his
solicitation, a day was set by the
doctor for the operation. Gammage
was taken into the operating room
and got upon the table himself. DIR.
Graves. with Drs. Eddy and Manuel,
both OF whom had been invited to as-
sist, were present. The apparatus
for administering the chloroform was
placed upon his face and the doctors
held his hands. expecting the usual
struggle. After two lengthy inspirs-

the conduct of Gammage, but did not
allow that to interfere with the exc

a nurse was sent to take care OF the
angry patient. and noticing that his
arm was injured asked how it hap
pened and was informed that it was

asked to see it, but Gammage would
not let him. Previous to this the
nurse had put part OF n splint upon
the injured arm. Gammage was taken
back 10 his room and the doctor con-
tinued to treat him. The next day

was sorry for the way he had acted.
