Mr.. Taylor, all the dirt on the inside
of your head has disappeared and it
will remain nice and clean for long
time.
DR.. Kickich then withdrew from the
operating table and Miss Bennion ap-
preached the front of the operating
table ard began her important part Ut
the work by saying now open both
Of your eyes WIDE" while she was en-
gagged in dropping something whitish
into them 1t seemed that she was go

what is that you are dropping into my
eyes," she said that it was cocaine and
that it would prevent us from feeling the
pain when DIR. Cradle starts in to do
the cutting, and we said that's ali right
lady, just keep dropping it in.
Not long after that time Doctors
Ralph Davis, Sherman Shepero and
Thomas D. Kickich, centered around
the head Of the operating table, clamps
were brought forward and placed on
the lids Of our eyes to hold them back
out of the way, and everything was

Cradle was, now Mr.. Taylor you must
keep your hands and arms under the
sides of your body and we hastily COM
piled to his request and Miss Bennion

across our breast there was no way
that we could suddenly raise up and
start confusion.
The next words uttered by DR..
Cradle were, now look down, now look
up, now look straight in my eyes, then
he paused for a moment and said there
is the cataract now and smiled at it as
he started after it with his sharp knife,
which must have been seven times
sharper than it ever had been before,
for only once did we feel little sting
in our eye, during the remainder of
the operation DR.. Cradle continued to
say hold still little longer Mr.. Tay-
lor, YOU are doing fine; the wonderful
operation is almost over and you have
