A new method due to DR.. Reclus was

Dr. Reclus does not amputate the in
jGried limb, but wraps it in antisaptic
substances by an enbalming proc,--
leaving nature to separate the dead
from the living tissues. This method
is less fatal than surgical excision and
preserves for the patient, if not the en-
tire limb, much larger part than am
putation would have left.

cleansed from all fatty substances by

staunching) and helps to compensate
for the loss of heat from bleeding. Re-
