Mr. and Mrs. Herman Kane, of Get
tysburg, Pa, through the grating

eyeball. according to a statement of
physicians alta hospital here. Ger
tain tests, they declare, have brought
out this fact without a doubt.
When the bandage was removed
from the eye IL was declared the
child followed the course of light
ed candle which was moved in front
of him. Another test that brings
out the fact more clearly is that
the child now winks his eyelid If a
finger or a small object is waved
close TO the eye. The movement of
the eyelid is the natural one.
The disease from which little
David has been a sufferer since he
was three weeks old is known as
staphyloma of the cornea. Both
eyes became affected and the child
was practically blind. Sight was
partially restored TO the right eye,
however. after treatment. The left
seemed to be in hopeless condition,
and it was only as last resort that
the operation was decided upon.
The operation was performed re-
