BONE FROM CHICKENS INGRAF-
TED ON A MANS LE4.J

In the Wabash Railroad Com
pany's hospital at Springfield, lii,
is case of bona fide bone graftiag,
the human limb being supported
and strengthened by bone taken
from live chicken. John Dough
erty, section hand, while work
ing la the Chicago yards IL ne IL.
1890, received n slight injury to his
left shinbone by scraping the skill
of while placing piece of tint Der
on the ground. The skin did not
grow on again. The old sore spread
rapidly until it covered several in
ches of the shinbone. The sur
geons decided that bone-rot had
set in. The only way to save the
remaining portion of the bone was
to remove the decayed part down
to the live bone by chiseling it out.
The operation was successfully per-
formed.
In consequence of the large
amount of bone which had been
Clipped away, something had to be
substituted to take its place ard
make the limb again strong To
do this live chicken was placed
under the influence of chloroform,
one leg was deity amputated, the
bone removed and split, and the
raw edge applied to the living bone
in Dougherty's leg. This operation
was continued until the hollow
place was filed with living bone
from four chickens. The operation
proved successful in every detail and
healed with astonishing rapidity.
In about four months Dougherty
was able to hobble around with the
help of crutch, and last February
he was permitted to go without
crutch or cane. He was greatly sur
prised when told Of the operation
which had been performed, but he
could vouch for its success. He
was recently given a position as
gatcman at a crossing OH the Wabash
Road .--Ney York Times.
