Treatment Begun On Chowenhill Baby

X-ray therapy was begun Monday in New York City on the left eye of David Chowenhill, year-old son of the Rev. and Mrs. Nelson Chowenhill, according to word received here this week.

David, victim of a rare eye disease, has a chance of retaining partial vision in this eye, it was reported.

He and his parents went to New York City last week after David's right eye, which was more seriously involved, was surgically removed in a Billings hospital. A specialist in New York, who has treated similar cases with X-ray, is directing David's treatment.

It will probably be necessary to continue the therapy for a period of more than three weeks.

Voluntary contributions to assist the Chowenhills amounted to $471.26.
