A dispatch from Chicago says that Mrs

near the hip without giving any evidence

The method by which the operation was
performed was Of great interest to sur
geons, and it is said in professional circles
TO nave marked a great step in that line of
surgery in America
Dr. Samuel L. Weber, a member of the
advisory staff of the hospital, had charge
OF the operation, which is said 10 be the
nrst OF its nature performed in America
ana the second known to medical men The
nrst having been performed in Europe. Dr.
weber made study of the initial OPERA
tion and concluded that the method might
be employed for the lower limbs of patents
VINO were unable to withstand the effects
or anaesthetics. The method consists in
the deadening of the nerves in the limbs
by the injection of cocaine in TIE yertebral
cavity above the point where the nerves
controlling the lower limbs branch from
the spinal chord.
The patient had suffered a gangrenous
affection of the leg and amputation be-
came necessary to save her life. She was
not in condition to make the use of an
anaesthetic safe, and the surgeon decided
to try the method which had proved suc-
cessfui In Berlin hospital.
The drug was injected into the patients
vertebral cavity short distance below
the waist line and soon she announced that
she had lost all feeling in her lower limbs,
WnlIe she was fully conscious of what was
going on, and had the full use of all her
faculties.
The limb was removed two inches below
the hip. and after the effect of the drug
mad passed away the woman said she felt
well; The prospects for her recovery are
good.

one who was fortunate enough to attend

so eloquently by Representative D. II. Mer-
Ger and other distinguished guests, must
have been convinced that the trend of
thought In Congress these days is in the

beheVe that any of these gentlemen would
consent to such further taxation upon the
