the property on Staten Island owned by
him They reached Clifton on the 10

DIsItaI Tenotomy for PiAnI.ts

There is no saying to what extent
%martyrdom in the aust of art will go.
1t has Just been discovered that nature,
when designing tho human hand, for
got to make allowances for the inyen
tion of the piano-iorte, and that, conse-
quently, all who are anxious to excel
on that instrument must undergo an
operation known asdigitnl tenotomy. or
the severance of the tendons which pre-
vent the fingers from being stretched
very far apart from 4 another. Doc
tors have, naturally enough, expressed
their approval of this proceeding, con
siderately adding that there is certainly
some chance OF the wound thus in.

and therefore patients should be warned
OF the risk they undergo previous 10
