Dr. Boelker of Leipzig has gone farther than Androcles, who removed a thorn from a lion's foot. He was removed a lion's. The operation was performed under an anaesthetic.
The lion's eye had been so badly damaged in a fight with a tiger that it was feared the lion might lose its life unless the eye was removed. Dr. Beolker did it. The animal never stirred during the operation, and is now well again.
