During this time the ab scees had broken and was dissharging in threo places, but would not heal. A third doctor advised a surgical opâ€" eration, which he objected to, and a fourth medical man then took the ease in hand. ‘This doctor confined Perley to the bed, and besides giving medicine, he ordered a mechanical appliancso to which was attached a l&pound weight, to be placed in a position by a pulley system so as to constantly draw downwards on the limb. ‘This treatiment was continued six weeks, ceausing much psain, but nothing in the way of benefit was noticed. ‘The abscess whs dressed twice and thrice a day for months, and frequently, despite the aid of cruatehes, it was necessary for me to. carry him in my arms from the house . to the vehiclo when taking im out.

After passing through Eton and Sandhurst, Frederick Roberts, then ninetéen years old, obtained his first commission as a second lieutenant in the Bengal artillery, on â€" December 12th, 1851. Going at once to India, he learned much from his father about Afghanistan and the campaign thorugh which General Sir Abraham Roberts had just passed, thereby layâ€" ing the foundation of the knowledge which he later put to such good use. ip One of his names among the people who honored him only second to their sovergign in the parade on the ocâ€" casion of her diamond jublice two and a half years ago, is that of ‘the "soldiers‘ general." No military leadâ€" er in England stands higher in the hearts of the British nation, and in the jndgment of European critics his ability ranks with or above that of crfint] Woiseley, his commander in rief. / On the same occasion he showed his faith in his system by saying that if the time of trial should ever come India could rest secure, not only on ber troops, her forts and her guns, but on the loyalty of her foundatories and the affection of her subjects. He always gave the credit of his viectories to the men under his command. ~ Much of his success as a general and as a builder was due not only to his remarkable magnetism, but to his close touch with the men in the ranks. Leaving India in 1893, after two terms, or nearly cight years, as comâ€" manderâ€"inchiof, at a farewell banquet in Calcutta he strongly urged upon all officers the necessity for showing kympathy with soldiers and their families, and of giving effect to orders in I_a ll_bern.l and intelligent spirit. But that was only one episode in a brilliant career, and many of those best qualified to judge believe that Roberts‘ most valuable sorvices to the empire were comprised in the arduous, unobtrusive labors by which he reâ€" modelled the frontiee defences and virtually remade the Indian army, bringing it to its present high effiâ€" clency. More than once his reforming opinions were so opposed to general notions at the time that they made him the object of attack, and even ridicule. But he stuck to them, and later was vindicated by their. adopâ€" tion. clent trade guilds and bodies with with ons ansth degrees, privileges, bangu« dresses, acteristic of the man, no less than his tact in dealing with ali around him, augur well for the fulflilment of the British hopes which are counting on his ekill to counterbalance the extreme mobility of the Boer forces, from which the British have suffered most heavily in the present war. Upon hbis return to England after that campaign the country honored Roberts much as Admiral Dewey was honored here. He was thanked by the Government of India and by both Houses of Parliament. The Queen sumâ€" moned him to Windsor. The municiâ€" pality of London presented to him a sword and the freedom of the city, a raro gilt accorded to comparatively few men, among whom General Grant was numbered. .
