Elliott, of the British army, came to the Hillcrest Surgical Hospital in Minneapolis yesterday, and for the first time in America performed the surgical operation which conquers glaucoma. This simple statement holds little significance to the layman, but the shining knife of the distinguished visitor in the opinion of the ten surgeons who breathlessly watched as he cut here and there in the diseased eyes of three men and a woman with miraculous skill and swiftness, cut open the first page of an unwritten history of optical surgery in the Northwest. The surgeons who watched the operations included nine of the most prominent in St. Paul and Minneapolis. The tenth was Dr. F. G. French, who brought a glaucoma victim from Marshalltown, lowa. One by one Dr. Elliott cut open the hardened eyeballs, his deft knife opening up clogged channels for the precious fluid without which one cannot see. Here and there, swiftly, and confidently, the hand nerved by years of army service in - India guided the shining knife. Cutting down between delicate nerves with barely the thousandth of an inch between, the blade was trust where no surgeons dared venture before.
