So the smiling photographer passed

Most Wonderful Operation on Record

TLondon Cor. Chicago Inter Ocean. /
There is a great deal of secrecy
about the illness mentioned in the
cable dispatches last week of Countess
Telfener, Mrs. John Mackay's sister,
but now it is known that Sir Victor
Horsley performed on her one of the
most wonderful operations ever con-
ceived, much less executed.
For 20 years the Countess has been
martyr to excruciating neuralgia. She
tried every sort of cure in England
and on the American continent fruit
lessly. During the last six months
her continuous pain was beginning to
threaten her reason, and she agreed
to submit herself to the knife.
1t was such an appalling process
that one of the nurses tainted, but to
the great joy of all concerned it was
pronounced a success.
First of all a piece of skull was
sawed away. Then the whole brain
was taken out and the nerve which
caused all of the pain literally torn
away. 1t was fearful task, and it
was with terrible difficulty that the
nerve was disintangled from the brain,
but Sir Victor's hand never shook the
whole time, and with as much calm
ness as though bandaging a finger he
replaced the brain, filled up the
whole and sewed up the open scalp
wound Those who saw him declared
that when he had, finished and the
patient was pronounced still alive he
went whiteas death. He did not ut
ter word for some time.
This was quite fortnight ago and
Countess Telfener has not had the
slightest twinge of the old pain since.
Indeed, except for necessary atten-
tention and the Inconvenience of the
outside wound she is in wonderful
health. Wheu she has regained her
strength sufficiently Mrs. Mackay
will take her away into the country
for change of air. Meantime Mrs.
Mackay is still staying on at Carlton
House Terrace, seeing to all her sis
ter's wants, attending her with un-
firing devotion.
