Much Attached to the Don.

Grating the bone from a dogs leg
onto the leg of man, to replace some
five inches of bone that had been re-
moved, and so saving to the man his

the first recorded case of grating up

nad fallen about ~ feet to the pave
ment. causing compound fracture of
the right leg near the ankle. The frac-
ture resisted treatment and in the
course of time five inches of the bone
were removed. It seemed that the on
~ thing left was amputation. The
surgeon determined to attempt to graft
the bone from the foreleg of a dog
to the sawed-off end of the leg bone
OF the man. A small black-and-tan
dog was selected for the experiment,
placed under ether, and his leg pre-
pared. The ends of the bones of the
man and the dog were united by silver
wire, and dog and man fastened rigid
ly together in plaster cast. The re-
port says:
The man suffered very little pain
or Inconvenience except for two or
three days. during which the dog was
restless and would attempt to move
The more the dog would move the
more pain was inflicted not only upon
the dog but upon the man. The dog
soon realized this. SO that it was not
necessary after the fourth day to give
the dog morphine to keep him quiet.
The dog and the man became very
much attached to each other."-San

are correctly adjusted they are certain
to do irreparable harm. Consult Mrs.

or do not. She never advises the use
of glasses unless absolutely necessary,
and is prepared to bring the latest
light to bear on every case submitted
