der. An ex-section was made. and TX
inches Of bone was taken of Of the end
Of n bono and . Of an inch OF the
other, at the place where the fracture
occurred. Holes were thsn bored per-
pendicularly through tho end Of each
bone. Through the small oriicss silver
wires were passed, by mean OF which
the bones were brought together and Sc
curely fastened. The operation wa one

signal triumph for surgery. That he
will recover can hardly be expected, AZ

torn and lacerated. Piccoli rested quite
comfortably this forenoon.
