"No You DoNT pit is known
that during the first two years of the
war many a poor fellow lost an arm
or leg at the hands Of the surgeons
which could have been saved with
little care. The medical depart
ment We're "practicing" with Ven
geance, and it was useless for the
mangled victims of the battle, field
to protest.
The night succeeding the last
awful day Of Shiloh, boy from
Memphis, a private in Tennessee
regiment Of cavalry, was brought
into the operating-room of one of the
hospitals and stretched upon the ia
BILE for examination. A bullet had
gone through his thigh, and the sur
geon, after a hasty glance at the
wound, called for his Instruments, at
the same time directing several at
tendants to assist at the amputation
of the limb. But he had reckoned
without his host. The injured man
began to plead for his leg, begging
to be permitted to die even in pref
erence to losing it.
The doctor paid no attention to
his protests, but ordered his assist
tants to do their duty. They sprang
forward, and at the same time, the
patient drew from his bosom six
shooter, saying
Now, doctor, I've been respectful
and humble with you, and it don't
do any good. Listen to me 1.-THE
first man that lays a hand upon me
to take that les off, will get his
brains blown out ~
The surgeon stepped forward,
knife in hand an assistant seized
the left hand, and received the
weight of his pistol on his temple,
measuring his length upon the floor.
Esculapius heard the "click of the
hammer, and found the muzzle
within an inch of his ear, while in
calm, determined tones came the
words:
"No you don't ]"
GARY him QUIT" growled the
doctor; "let him die !"
But he didn't die, lie got well,
served through the war in Forests
command, and when | saw him last
he told me the story, and slapping
his thigh, remarked:
"That's just as good leg as any
mans leg, and worth a cord of cork
legs" - .SoutAcrN Op5nlon.
