Wonderful Operation.
The ChristchurcU Telegraph has the following ;— " Dr Wiikhs' extraordinary operation, as performed by him at the Christchurch Hospital, on the 18th ot this mmth, m. the presence of tour or five medical men and others, is, upon inquiry at the institution, lively to prove a success. The patiant operated upon by the doctor is named Harnlin, well-known m Christchuroh as the I blind man. He has been quite blind m m both eyes tor many years, and Dr [ Wilkins has done his best to give him sight again by grafting ou to one of hid eyes the healthy front of a wili rabbit's eye, with the result that the man can so far easily distinguish objects held before hiui, with perfect union of the rabtit/s eye to the human eye, which, we inn»ine, must be a new physiological fact, and we hope to hear, further of the success of the case,"
