Rev. J., c. Ferrier, of Ottawa, under
went a difficult operation at Christ hos
! pital this week The bone in his left
| leg was chisseled out from the ankle to
within a few inches of the knee cap,
gangrene having set in. When a boy
| Mr.. Terrier was hit on the leg with a
| rock which caused a compound frac-
ture of the bone. In such cases ampu-
tation is generally necessary to prevent
a diseased condition extending through
| out the injured limb For some reason
there was no amputation, and for about
% years Mr.. Terrier has been troubled
| at intervals with formation of pus and
the crumbling away of the bone. While
at college he had a great deal of trouble
| of this kind. and it is thought wonder
full that he has gone SO long without an
| opera ton to remove the decaying bone
| In the course of a couple of months
new bone will grow in the place of that
| token out. and Mr.. Ferrier will have
the use Of a good leg again.
