Operated on a Tiger.

Some years ago one Of the finest
tigers in the Geological Gardens in
Dublin had sore foot. A claw had
turned down and grown back into the
flesh. When the trouble was discov-
cred gangrene had set in and 1t was
feared that the tiger would have TO
be killed. DR.. Samuel Haughton, a
member of the faculty of Trinity Col
lege and well-known Irish prac-
titioner, offered to operate on the
tiger. The offer was accepted. The
tigers mate was confined in another
cage and the tiger was secured in a
strong net.
DIR. Haughton began cutting away
the diseased flesh, while the suffering
tiger snarled and struggled fiercely.
In the other cage the tigress made
even more desperate efforts to come
to the rescue Of her mate. After the
operation was concluded the tigress
was allowed to rejoin her mate, and
she examined the bandaged paw care
fully and licked the sufferer much n

pleasure at seeing the physician. For
