Mom took one look at the finger and called a doctor. Old Dr Goltz, who had brought Lee into the world and had long been the family doctor, was away, and a strange man had to be called. He was positive that only by at once amputating the finger could he save the hand; and he warned that delay might even endanger Lee's life. The poison was taking a hold on his entire system.
