so ago Mr.. Clayton had his arm broken
while riding, and the fracture was improp-
erly set. 1t has given him considerable
trouble recently, and upon consulting
w. S. Thorne and DR.. Luke Robinson he
learned that either resection or amputa-
ton would be necessary
The surgeons found the arm badly cal
loused over the fracture, which was above
the elbow, and decided that it would be
necessary at least to open the flesh, and if
the trouble is discovered to be of such a
malignant nature as to demand it an am
putation will be performed.
