RrcorsaIya RAripLY.-Mrs. Club
buck, Of Dayton, whose right arm was
amputated above the elbow, three weeks
ago to-day, at Virginia, by Dr.. KILLER,
had recovered from the effects of the
operation last Saturday sufficiently to
attend the theatrical matinee IN Tue
afternoon at the Opera House, and the
stump is entirely healed with the eScep-
ton of n small hole abont the size OF y
pea. She returned to her home in Day
ton, Yesterday, in good health aud
spirits, and confident Of being pretty
generally useful yet, about the house,
Notwithstanding the loss of that arm,
Some three months age she was afflicted
with II felon on the end Of her right
thumb, which from injudicious treat
meut became something more serious
than it should nave been. IL was opened,
but inflammation and swelling extended
to tue elbow. All the old ladies 10 the
n~eiyhborhood told her just what to do
for il, each knowing of some infalliole
poultice." The tried them all. Que
hundred and twenty pounds of carrots,
twenty-five pounds Of onions, ten pounds
Of crauberries, twenty pounds OF pota-
toes, besides au Unlimited amount oil
Aax-seed, slippery-elm, and other sari-
cites Of poultics material was industri-
ously aud faithfully used, but it only
L.ni, mn and Increased the Inflammation.
The unfortunate limb could not stan
1t, but yielded 10 the 'reatmen' 'u"sN
to say mo5nhcation set 10 a -
laAen 70 "sS s.r;h., Had she
s;mnIv nsed cold water application, to
reduce the Inflammation, and meanwhile
fed mon the poultice material, she
would to-day have two. we'll hands in
stead of one, to say nothing Of avoiding
long DAYS aud nights Of pain, i'll health
aud accumulativO doctors bills. Sym
pathisiny with the lady in her sad loss,
we can only add that il was the fault OF
her iniudicious advisers and not Of her
self.
