Kramtsky. one Of the greatest of sur
geons. A wealthy reindeer farmer
named Poitinkosh, living north of St
Petersburg. was thrown violently
from his sleigh. His right thigh
striking a snag, received a jagged
wound about four inches long, in
line with the femoral artery, which
supplies the leg with blood. This ar
terry was exposed and badly bruised.
In a short time blush tint became
visible at the end Of the great toe, a
forerunner OF gangrene. The injured
man was at once removed to an oper-
ating room. DR.. Kramtsky had been
watching the case closely and was pre-
pared with an appliance for novel
experiment.
After an anesthetic had been admin
istered the wound was cleansed and the
tissue dissected away from the bruised
portion Of the artery, which was al
most in q condition of disintegration.
A clamp was placed upon it about an
inch above where sound tisuue began
and the healthy portion severed from
the diseased part. DR.. Kramtsky then
took small, elastic, colorless tube

manufacture. from an antiseptic case
and slipped the end of the severed ar
terry into it to the distance of an inch,
keeping the hollow tube collapsed to
prevent mir from entering. The same
process was repeated at the lower end
Of the artery and the lower clamp re-
moved. The clamp above was now taken
away, allowing the blo5d TO stream
through. The tube was laid in the hol-
low, whence the injured part of the
