Either operation exposes the gland so that the surgeon can enucleate it with his fingernail or blunt scissors. The operation requires the best of skill and asepsis.

The patient can be propped up in bed the day after his operation, sit in a chair after a week, be well in three weeks. Dangers against which the convalescent must guard include pneumonia, hiccoughing, gas on the stomach. Epsom salt is poison to the convalescent...
Righeimer next was seen in an informal bout with his former coach, Grasson. Peroy again demonstrated his unusual skill with the foils in an encounter with Levis, after which J. D.

...Benet in his 'John Brown's Body' set for himself a major task, accomplished it, and found recognition. His technical skill, his enthusiasm for his material, and his narrative power, are combined in a poem which has had phenomenal and merited success.
