hspid Recoveries from the Use Of Phos-
Phorus In Treating Fractured Bones.

Rapid Recoveries from the Use Of Phos-
phorus in Treating Fractured Bones.
A Havana medical student recently car
ried on series of experiments to ascertain
the effect of using various forms of phos-
phorus for patients suffering from tract
ures. As reported in The Lancet, he
broke the femur of dogs and fowls and put
The limb up in splints. He then divided
The patients into two groups, the first
group being treated with phosphorus in
various forms, the second being left with
out medication. The result was that the
callus was more abundant and firmer in
animals treated with phosphide of zinc
than in those treated with phosphate of
lime or than in those not treated at all.
These results were confirmed by observa-
lions made in the surgical wards, where it
was found that patients with fractures
who took from quarter to an eighth of a
grain of phosphide of zinc daily made ex-
ceptionally good and rapid recoveries. The
only unpleasant effecss produced by this
treatment were that one out of the eight
cen patients on whom it was tried suffered
from slight diarrhoea, and in one the pulse
became slow and hard

improving Upon Nature.

The Interesting operation by which q
large ear may be made smaller, and a bad.
~ formed one improved in outline, has
been described by The Medical Review as
follows: A long, oval portion of the skin
Is removed from the posterior surface OF
the auricle. the cartilage being laid bare
by its dissection. In the long axis of the
oval eXcision of the skin long, narrow
piece is removed from the cartilage itself,
shaped on cross section like the furrow
OF pillow. Great care must be taken not
to cut through the skin on the anterior
surface of the auricle Stitches of catcut,
three or four in number, are passed through
the skin Gu the sides of the wound so as to
bring it together
The edges of the cartilage may also be
united with few catgut stitches, and this
seems to be preferable, though the results
nave thus far been equally satisfactory
without them. The eXcision is attended
with free bleeding, which, however, is
easily controlled. Antisepsis must, OF
course, be observed during the operation
and IN the dressings. The patient may be
up and about the next day, but unless the
stitches drop out they should not be re
moved before the tenth day in order to
secure firm union.

rise and fall on the surge, showers
of spray flying over her, but appar-

A few moments and the boat and
its crew were safe.
The miser had started from his
seat and stood trembling gazing at
the approaching boat as she buffet
ed the waves; no sooner did she
touch the ground than he rushed
frantically into the surf and cIasped
his daughter to his heart.
He would not loose his hold and
the fishermen had to carry them
both to dry land. s.i.
There they would have separated
the two for a moment, but when
they spoke to the old man they
found he was lifeless. The two
hours emotion had been too much
for his enfeebled frame and he had
died in the reyulsiou from despair
to sudden joy.
After a short period of mourning
had passed, Polly Smelling, the mi Z
ser's daughter, gave her hand to
Harry Dane, the brave youth who
for love risked his life. The old
miser had been worth over million
dollars, all of which came to the
young couple. This was, however,
the least part of the treasure, for
they had the truest- love to bind
them together and in his wife's vir-
tues and amiability Harry found
ample recompense for the long
years of opposition on the part of
her parent.
