NERVIEST OF MEN,” SAYS DOCTOR OF GRACE X His Stoicism Under the Knife Astounds the Operating Physicians. Eugene Grace, shot March 5 In At lanta and pronounced Incurably par alyzed by prominent surgeons of At lanta, has a chance for complete re covery. After operating upon the wounded man yesterday afternoon at his home in Newnan, Ga., Dr. W. M. Turner stated that here was a chance of a complete return of sensation in the lower limbs, which were cut from the nerve centers by the bullet. His spinal cord is not severed. In this statement he is backed up by Dr. T. S. Bailey, who has attended Grace ever since he was carried from Atlanta to Newnan, and Dr. John S. Derr, of Atlanta. Nerviest Man, Says Physician. Dr. Derr declared Grace was the nerviest man he has seen in all his experience. Said Dr. Turner: “The patient si doing well. He has not yet reached the stage where accu rate predictions can be made, but I am convinced that he has a chance to re cover his health and not be crippled in any way." For several days the operation had been contemplated. The doctors kept constant watch over their patient’s physical condition and determined, aft er noticing evidence of a returning sen sation near the kee, that the probe would be made. Grace himself was eager for it. Grace Urged Doctors to Act. For more than three months he had lain upon his back unable to do more than lift a glass of water to his mouth. Often he had cried out against It and urged his physician to do something. When told that the operation would be performed he seemed very glad. At 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon he was put under the anesthetic. An entrance was made at the ninth dorsal vertebra, in the course of the operation it was discovered that the spinal cord was severed, but thta the paraly sis had resulted from an extreme pressure. The bullet was also located, but owing to its inaccessibility’ it was not removed. The pressure was relieved considerably, how ever. The first thing Grace asked after re turning to consciousness was: "Is it coming out all right, doc?" He re ceived very encouraging assurance. Absolutely Fearless As Operation Neared. Before and after the operation he was calm and collected, despite the fact that hut a. small margin stood between him and death. "I never saw as cool a man,” said Dr. Derr this morning. “He never once lost his nerve. He never once looked as if he was in the least frightened, in all my medical experience I have never seen a man go under the knife with such splendid control over him self and such absolute fearlessness." This morning Grace was resting easily and was unusually cheerful. To ills stepfather, S. L. Hill, he confided the belief that he would be riding about in a buggy very soon. | UNCLE TRUSTY! -!• Copyright, 1912, by International News Service. I n *■ \ (Beat iT\j T UThE cOHVEMTJPtp . l’"' ?
