DR.. Bannister, who was ap-

The program showed an IL

Rheumatism blinded her when
she was 5, but now her sight

A spokesman for the Empire

by cataract in the eye and
chalk deposits on the surface
Under a treatment which
originated in the United States
and has been developed in
Britain" he said, "the eyes are
washed with a special fluid
which diSsolves away the cal
cium.
Removal Of the cataract is
more difficult. But it recently
