To these might be added an ar
ticle which have just found in an
old volume of Harper's monthly
magazine for September, 1873, by
the Reverend William H. Milburn
which is called My Blindness and
Albrecht Won Graefe."
Early Eye Operations
The Reverend Mr.. Milburn suf-
fered an unlucky, unintentional
blow from the hand of a playmate
in his left eye when he was five
years old. 1t gave him some trou-
Bile in college and kept getting
woxse afterwards in his work in
the ministry. He was a friend of
Prescott, the historian, who had
a similar experience and records
as an astonishing fact that no ocu-
list in all America could do him
any good.
He finally went to the great Won
Graefe in Berlin, and after two
years Of darkness, the doctor ser
formed an operation on him which
restored his sight. l gather from
the account that it was an iridec-
tony.
Before the operation the doctor
said to him, II have watched you
closely and see that you are a man
of nerve. There is a slight spot in
the cornea which requires great
cxactness. Chloroform can not
hold you as steady as your will.
