EARLY RECOVERY EXPECTED.
Thomas A. Edison Operated on At
Manhattan Hospitai-Abscess In Ear.

New York, Feb. 27.-Thomas A. Edi-
son was operated on for mastoiditis
tonight at the Manhattan Eye, Ear and
Throat hospital, where he has been d
patient since Sunday, when an abscess
which had formed in the middle ear
was opened Dr. Arthur B. Duel, VINO
performed tonights operation, says
that the condition of the inventor is
favorable and leads to the expectation
of an early recovery.
Mr.. Edison is 81 years of age and
while i was admitted that a re-
currencc of his earlier ailmcnt had
brought about a grave condition it
was believed by those in attendance
that he would recover from the seri-
Gus operation. Three years ago, Mr.
Edison was operated upon for maStOi-
ditis, which affected the left ear. The
operation was successful and the
wound healed properly, though the in
evitahle condition resulting made him
more susceptible to 81 second attack III
the event of any trouble with that
organ.
Recently the inventor contracted
cold which caused the formation OF au
absceSS in the middle ear. This alb
scess was opened Sunday and it had
been hoped that the trouble was check
ed. Today however, it was discovered
that Il secondary Infection had broken
down the once healed inner wall and
penetrated to the mastoid cells, ne
cessitating a second operation for
mastoiditis. Tonight Mr.. Edison was
resting as comfortably it was said as
could be expected. Mrs. Edison was
with him and will remain at the hospi-
tai during her husbands stay, which
will be q r!attCr of weeks probablE.
