the parents realized that their chiId's
condition was getting worse and would
eventually cause blindness. their gfief
was extreme, but with persistency they
kept on seeking medical advice
During the last year the child's eyes
were treated by another physician
Twice a week he chloroformed her. and
then the physician would burn the lids
and ulcers They submitted to this he
rOic treatment in the hope that it might
cure, but the result was worse than be-
fore and the little one began to fail in
health also
Finally they sought DR.. Walsh At
this time the condition was pttiable; the
lids were red and dry and swollen, and
she could not open them without assist
ance- The eye itself seemed lost IN in
hammatiOn. When Dr. Walsh assured
Mr.. Taylor that the child could be
cured. he began to feel renewed hope,
and the pleasant part was that the
eatn6ut was without pain of any kind
At the end OF three weeks the change
in the eyes was remarkable The in
f1ammation had disappeared and the
sight was rapidly returning, until now
the child is we'll
In this case Dr. Walsh used his IA
nous medical absorption treatment,
which can entirely free the eye from in
Illumination
The Case That Made DR.. Walsh Fa-
nous in Europe as Well as America
Born Blind and Deaf, She IS Made
to Hear and See
On the Mississippi river, in western
Illinois, is the city of Moline, noted as
a great manufacturing center Some
years ago the town became widely
wonderful operation performed there
with perfect success The whole SCI
entific world stood amazed at the dar-
ing and marvellous surgery and the
wonderful knowledge OF the BRAIN eye
and ear which this surgeon displayed
Little Alice Anderson is the five year
old daughter of HyaIrnar Anderson who
Is employed at the Deere PlOW Works
of Moline. Ill She was born both deaf
and blind and when it came time when
babies first begin to walk, they found
she could not do So The case seemed
hopeless; at times they consulted diff
fereut physicians Most of them said
nothing could be done; others attempt
ed TO treat the case, but soon gave It
up They had given up al hope and II VISA
only to satisfy the whirn OF nelghbOr
that they brought the child to Dr.
Walsh After a scientific examination of
the brain. the eye and the ear he pro
uOunced the case one of MicrOcephaIuS-
a case which involved the centers Of
sight. hearing and motion in the brain
and advised an operation on those
parts
Assisted by DR. Bowman and other
well known surgeons of that section he
performed a wonderful and brilliant
operation on those delicate structures
To operate on these parts requires the
of the brain. and the exact location OF
all those wonderful little nerve centers-
This can be obtained only by long ex-
perience and most incessant study, and
but few men ever reach this high stand
ard
1t requires nerves Of steel and per
feet knowledge to operate in a place
where the very centers of life are found
The result was a success, and now the
child has sight and hearing and can
walk the same as any other child
