SIGHT RESTORED 4
AFTER FOUR YEARS
Totally Blind for Four Months
Operation Perfectly
Seccessful.

Mr.. Nathan Hail. of Neod' :
;ha, who has been slowly 60 ng
blind for the past four wears, and
1as been totally blind for four
months was operated onlfor catarA'
, week ago by Chanute eye
pecialist. The operation was :,
ielicate one, necessitating The
'plitting OF the eyeball and removal
If part of the contents but proves t.
lave been perfect success.
Unless something unforeseen se's
n the bandages may be removec
n a day or so. The eye now has
sight restored to the extent t
'ensing light as we'll as ever, an
shen glasses have been fitted to hi
ye the patient will be able to ST .
,bj cts as plainly as when mai.
wears young
Mr.. Hall said yesterday ~ an.
,erfectly satisfied with the Chanu
'hysician's work, and do no
'elieve that anv man could ha e
lone more than was done"
His other eye also has catarac,
growing and as soon as the sigh
that fails he expects to have an
operation similar to this one per.
formed on that eye bail.
The reason Mr.. Hall came to
Chanute was from having known
an old lady who had suffered from
the same kind of eye affection, and
1hls physician had performed
successful operation on her eyes.
The woman had been blind for
seven years and at seventy five had
the operation performed. Her
sight is such today that she can
see to read anything she may wish
o.
A similar case was that of man
llghty years old. The operation In
is case was also successful.
Both of these cases were known
trsonally to Mr.. Hall and decided
hin to come to Chanute to have
NJ necessary operation performed.
