performed q surgical operation at the
St. Vincent de Paul, Virginia, in the
ease of James Dyer, whose left leg was
amputated above the knee several weeks
ago, in consequence Of getting it crush
ed In the machinery of Birdsall's mill,
Dayton. The Doctor r%eopened the end
Of the stump, and arranged the flesh so
that it will granulate and heal up into
better shape for the reception OF a
wooden or cork leg than it was before.

in his charge for several weeks, and by
him was made o better job than the
original surgeon, has left the Hospital,
and when his damaged limb shall have
regained its due strength it will be just
as good as ever. Mr.. Dyer and Tommy
West, each minus a leg, are the only
ones NOW at the Hospital.
