The Army and Navy journal tells
this story about the late DR.. Lewis a.
Sayre of New York city;
when young medical student at
the College of Physicians and Surgeons
IN New York, one Of the operating ply.
Sicians was about to cut off an Irish
mans leg. but before beginning the op.
Grafton gave long talk to the students
on amputation. The Irishman lay on
the operating table in full possession
of his faculties, and as he listened to
the discourse he grew whittier and whit
er. Finally he jumped from the Opor-
ating table, crying: Get me me breecl-
es, be COB! I'll die with me leg on"
And with that he was out of the room,
"Dr. Sayre found him several days
later with his knee badly swollen The
young doctor promptly cut open tho
knee, but saved the leg. Ono day lie
had no lint to bind the wound, so he
used the tow stufiing sticking out of an
old horsehair sofa. When he called
again. he found the wound so much i'm
proved that he reasoned that tow dip
ped In Peruvian halsam would not only
disinfect wound. but would keep 1t
free from pus.
This was the foundation of one Of
the most satisfactory successes he ever
had In surgery. 1t was the means of
introducing into the army the use of
tarred hemp, or oakum, as a dressing
for wounds"
