Many people have forgotten that i Sir Frederick Treves operated a few ; years ago on King George V., and : has, therefore, had the unique experience of performing operations on two kings of England. He told ' King Edward, when the famous oper- | ation of 1902 was decided on, that j he would give £IO,OOO to escape the I dpty of performing it. Sir Frederick I retired from practice because he was ■ really tired of taking out an appendix : every morning. He performed the : operation as regularly as fie had his breakfast, and far uiore regularly than he had his lunch, for he often i had to lunch in his carriage a.« he : went his round of visits.. Sir Freci- ', erick, it is said, has performed no ! fewer than 1000 operations for apS pendicitis without a single death.
