She is planning to visit Niagara Falls and other scenic points in America before returning to Australia. She has been a patient at the Leahy Clinic, Boston, where she was known as the “Sunshine Girl.” Sydney doctors who examined her told her fath'er that she might be suffering from any of 25 complaints. Leahy Clinic doctors operated on her a fortnight ago to relieve intercranial pressure caused by excess spinal fluid.
