Questions and Answers.
Cataracts.

Would you advise a person over
20 years old to have an operation
on both eyes for cataracts? Are
many of the operations successful ?
Different people have told me that
the operation with few exceptions
leaves one blind About how long
is a person laid up after the opeE-
alton? WORRIED.
Answer-Age makes no differ
I would advise the operation by all
means. The great majority Of such
operations are a wonderful sue
cess. Different people have cruel
ly misinformed you. When sight
is lost because of cataract the pa
tient has nothing to lose and ev-
erything to gain from the opera
tion.
