SAW HIS LEG CUT OFF.
Subject of an Amputation Unable to
Take an An8sthetic.

Jersey City, N J., May 1S.-Henry
Nichols. a we'll known member of the
Jersey City club, was taken to a hos
pital on Sunday suffering from blood
poisoning, the result of an injury to his
right leg Later he was informed that
the leg must be amputated.
The surgeons found that the action Of
Mr.. Nichols heart would not warrant
the use of anaesthetics and he was
obliged to submit to the operation with
out them. After the leg had been am
Dutated below the knee it was found
that gangrene extended above the knee
and that second operation would be
necessary. The leg was then amputated
at the thigh. Not once did the patient
lose consciousness. He talked with Dr.
Dickinson while the leg was being re-
moved, and when the operation was
over he congratulated the physician.
