road, had suffered an accident on the road sev-
eral months before, by which his arm was
crushed just above the elbow. The usual op-
Grafton Of splintering had been tried, but the
bones failed to unite, and a cartilaginous union
was formed, making false joint. On the 9th
of May last, the operation of resection was per-
formed with successful result The patient
being etherized, the cartilaginous formation
was divided, thin pieces of bone sawed from
the aisunited fragments, the ends were fitted
together and joined by silver wire, and the
h'hD was dressed as for compound fracture.
Dr. Clarke communicates to the Bo,ton Medi.

case, from which it appears that fieteer ,oolo
after the operation, when the hope Of success,
