he wanted to see as soonas any one
the first fact that the scalpel should
reveal. His curiosity is not TO be
wondered at, for the doctors had
also been mystified by the old
druggists disease. When the knife
had done its work, and there lay
in tine surgeons, hands acyst whose
growing had pressed on his brain
and his organs Of vision, SO that
he walked as one having locomotor

flying for him to learn what had
been the matter, as well as to feel
