It was =aild subsequently that the operation had been eminently success ful and that the patient was believed te be out of immediate danger This statement was wade at Mr. Bel mont's office; “Mr. Belmont worked in his office all day and went up to the hospital on the evening previous to the operation His malady was not acute, although it was deemed wise for him to subwlit to the operation in order to prevent future trouble, He will be iu the hospital abont a fortnight.” Maurice N, Minton, personal friend of Mr. Belmont, accompanied him to the hospital sud remained for some time after the operation. Later Mr Minton said Mr. Belmont told me just before he left his office that he had elected to un- dergo the ordeal just as sovu as the physicians decided that his physical condition would warrant it “There I= no doubt that by promptly placing himself in the surgeon's hands Mr. Belmont has done the wisest thing. He sald to me, ‘1 believe 1 will ward off an iliness which may cost me my life if 1 neglect to go under the knife much longer.’ “When he came to this couclusion he went directly to the Memorial hospital and placed himself in the hands of the family physician, Dr. Pope. In the morning when he awakened he told Dr. Pope that he felt strong and fully able to undergo the operation. At 9 o'clock he walked to the operating rooin. He was smiling and cheerful as I saw him there before the operation was begun. He expressed the greatest coufidence that he would come out of the ordeal all right and iu good coud tion. . “He didn't feel the ordeal tu the least.
