of Hippocrates, the light that
failed blazed anew today for 19.
year.old John Seaman of Gal.

years.
John whooped for joy when the
bandageS were removed from his
eyes at Medical Center here after
an unusual operation. He was
able to distinguish colors and to
define print with his one remain
ing eye, the left.
Other Eye Blinded
Fourteen years ago in Gallit-
Yin playmate accidentally poked
a stick into Johns left eye, blind
ing it. Five years later, a fire
cracker exploded in the lads
face, running his right eye and
causing total blindness.
Weary years followed. John be-
came a student at st. Joseph's
Home for the Blind here-a lead
ing student. But he never lost
hope of ultimately regaining his
sight.
A delicate operation was de.
cided upon. DR.. Francis x. Brophy
removed the right eye completely
and deftly cut a cataract from the
left. Bandages were applied, and
mother nature took over the job.
Success of the operation was
only established when the band
ages were first removed.
The bandages were first taken
off a week ago, but reapplied after
his reactions were noted. Johns
own story:

know what it was until they
told me-"
It was the sun shining through
