and is piped to the house and
barn.

/ 7. L. Marshall: / went up to

and accompanied my father to a
hospital in Kansas City for the
care of his eyes. A nurse brought
a dropper to put medicine in
fathers eye. The first drop fell
in the corner of the eye and he
gave a great twitch. Father
cried out, Don't touch me with
any more of that. l smell it, it is
carbolic acid" It ran down the
side of his face, and several
doctors were very hastily called
in. That was a careless act of
the nurse. Suppose the acid had
struck squarely in the eye, don t

been serious trouble indeedY
