In the course Of O recent address in
Great britain on Africa, H. c. Sclous,

had lived and travelled and hunted be-
tween 1852 and 1892, says the African

With T. ". McGrnth, n Bnr,ga prticnt
vho, about II month ago, had bis left
lsg amputated about midway between
the knee an thigh. Mr.. Mc'irlth APP
peared the most cheerful OF all the
patients visited AMI spoke OF his illness
and suffering with becoming resigna-
ton and hopefully outlined plans fol
The future when he should have beer
ccustomed to the use of an art;-
icial leg.
In response to question us to how
lie felt Mr. McGrath said: "Oh. | am
retting along all right and will feel per
sectly easy when the leg that was am.
outated ceases to trouble me. You APP
pear surprised, but what state is a
fact. OF course the sensation is wear
ing off and will doubtless soon be en-
t.rely gone, but that cutoff foot and leg
has caused me great deal of annoy
ance and SOM plin. For the first
week or two after it was cut off the
pain was almost constant down where
the foot used to be, and had to often
feel the bandaged stump to reassure
myself had really lost part of my
self. Lately. however, I only feel the
annoyance of having n strong desire to
scratch foot that suppose is buried
many hundreds of feet from the rest of
me. The feeling is rs though thousands
of needles were pricking me and the
most aggravating part of it there is
no way of allaying the irritation. The
doctor can't very well apply remedies
to a piece of air about the size of my
foot and where it used to be-" conclud-
ed Mr.. McGrath laughingly.
1t is not very rare instance for those
losing parts of their bodies by amputa-
ton to feel sensations at the point
where the lost member used to be. but
such an intelligent. half numerous de-
scription of the feeling IS that of Mr.
is not often given"
