Myths Concerning Amputation.

The Chinese, perhaps, show the
greatest repugnance TO the surgical
operation of amputation of all the civ
1lized races of man. 1t is remarkable
fact, however, that all savage and
semi barbaric races exhibit the same
dislike to having any member of the
body severed. Many of the Sea ISL
and races willingly die before they will
undergo an operation which involves
the loss of limb. 1t does not seem as
If the Chinese show their dislike for
having members trimmed on account
of fear or pain, it being widely known
that as religious fanatics they will un-
dergo any amount of physical suffer
ing; it only seems to be desire to
keep the body intact. If Chinaman
does, as has been known in rare cases,
submit to the operation, he will not be
satisfied unless the limb be preserved
and kept SO that he can see it and have
it buried with him at death. Cases
have been known where amputated
limbs have been eaten by their owners.
