MaokeiniW!deniea that he wounded 1 the, vocal chord in hia operations, and states that Dr. Gebhardt. was guilty of making a false accusation; against him, in asserting that this was so.

The Bmperor suffered no pain untill tracheotomy was performed. In oaßes of cancer on 1 per eentjfatal (sic) the voice was destroyed by the operation, and recurrence,of the disease was almost certain. jGebhardt's ;ruthless cauteniing of the Emperor's throat was unexampled ia the history of surgery, and was likely to make a benign oomplaint a malignant one.
