Interesting Surgical Operation

A case ofsurgery recently occurred in
this town, which has excited much inter-
est-eyen beyond the parties immediate.
y concerned and we have obtained the
following particulars of the operation,
which seems to us interesting:
Mr.. j. II. Phelps, much respected cit
izen of Rupert, in this State, had the mis-,
fortune, about eighteen months since to
break his arm in two places, below the ell
bow. The arm was set by physicians, but
the broken bones failed TO unite ut either
break, and the arm and hand became en-
tirely useless. Some months after the ac-
cident, Mr.. p. in the hope ofrelief, placed
himself in a hospital in aneighboring city.
and there underwent ten severe opera.
tions for the purpose Of inducing union OF
the broken bones, bat with no effect
Under these circumstances in December
last-nearly year after the accident, Mr..
Phelps applied to Prof. Sanborn (of Castle
ton Medical College who advised and
performed an operation which saved and
entirely restored the injured limb. II
consisted in first cutting down and expos
ing the broken ends of the bones-dissec-
ting out the gristly substance that had
formed between and lolnl the ends of
the iragments--thend drilling holes through
each broken piece-and lastly inserting a
stout silver wire, and twistingit tightly so
as to bring the fractured parts together.
Only one of the fractures was thus treated
at the first operation. At the end of six
weeks the bone operated on had grown to-
gether, and the wire was removed. After
an interval of three weeks the remaining
fracture was treated in the same man
ner-and in four weeks the bone was
firmly united, and the wire was removed.
The cure is complete -thearm is as strong
as ever--and every motion unimpaired, not.
withstading The severity ofthese operations.
Mr.. Phelps preferred to undergo them with>
out the use of ether, and he returned
home last week in high spirits at the res
ult of his three months, visit to us.-Rut-
land Courier
