Manchester, Eng, Nov. 2S.-The
Despatch is authority for the state
ment that Kaiser William will soon
undergo an operation on his ear
which if unsuccessful may result in
serious brain trouble. The ailment
from which the kaiser is suffering IS
a disease of his left ear, with which he
has been affected since birth. 1t has
developed a serious turn, which causes
anxiety t O his medical advisers. A
distinguished London specialist has
been summoned to Berlin to perform
the proposed operation.
A dangerous Operation.
The present trouble with the ear
was caused by a cold which the kaiser
caught while making a speech in the
open air. This was followed by a Sc
we're attack of catarrh. The operation
will be performed on the mastoid
antrum. 1t is not necessarily serious
in itself, but aside from the danger al
ways inseparable from an operation
in such a delicate region the disease
may spread to the brain membranes
after the operation, producing menin-
gifts.
