TO SAVE A GIRLS HAND.
DIR. Crane and BAH Performed an oper-
alton to save Amputation.

Drs Crane and Bali Performed an oper-
alton to save Amputatios.
Miss Rose Sprague, eighteen years OF
age, daughter of Hecla Sprague, who
lives twelve miles north of Mitchell,
has suffered with bad right hand for
the last two years. A slight aipjlry
caused Inflammation and decay in the
long bones OF the member. There are
several istulous openings on tire back
of the hand and wrist that have con
stantly discharged pus and small pieces
OF dead bone. The pain has been con-
stant and severe In order TO save the
hand from amputation an operation
was decided upon
It was performed Thursday by Drs.
Crane and Ball with Mrs. Campbell as
assistant and nurse. All of the long
bones OF the hand and thumb between
the knuckles and The wrist were entire
| ly removed. II is expected that such a
radical procedure will check the dis
ease and save the hand Miss Sprague
went through the ordeal we'll and q
speedy recovery, is hoped for. Mrs.
Campbell's valuable assistance in this
and other cases is easily proving her to
be the leading nurse of Mitchell, and
the patient was given to her care that
there might be rapid return to health.
