BONE PLACED IN A BOYS ARM.
Defect of Nature Supplied by Noted
Scottish Surgeon.

At the annual gathering of the Glas-
cow University club at Sunderland re-
Gently Sir William Macewen, who was
concerned in an extraordinary opera
ton upon child over twenty years
ago. introduced the patient, now
full-grown man. to the medical men
present and explained the nature of
the remarkable case.
The child was born without bone
in the right arm. the boneless limb
hanging helpless by its side. The sur
geons determined to make an attempt
TO save the limb.
Small sections of the bone taken
from the tibia and lower portions of
the legs of other patients who were
under treatment for the cure of bow
leggedness were transferred to the
boneless arm, there to continue their
growth and to become amalgamated-
in fact. eventually supplying the place
Of the missing humerus.
Sir William Macewen kept in touch
with the boy, who at the age of IA
left Glasgow for Sunderland. where
he had worked since. The young
man barred his arm to the guests pres
ent and gave the company abundant
proof of the sustained serviceableness
of the limb. despite several accidents.
including a compound fracture, which
had befallen it.

to the office of Morley & Stevens
They received him with seeming re-

attention. 1t is well known to my
readers by this time, and | will not
repeat it. When he finished, both law
yers observed that he said nothing
about Constance's recognition through
the olfactory sense. and they judged
rightly that he was unaware of it
They saw. therefore, that it bore no
part in his determination to prosecute
his claims. After the matter had
been discussed at some length, Mr.
Morley said:
Actions against tenants Will ap-
ply to your case. Mr.. Hamilton (call-
ing him so for the first time), for they

claim"
But he will. He has lime points of

That is possession. you know.

That would be point gained.
Then if you could prove that you went
in search of him it would be set
against the assertion of the defendant
that he had no brother, and his re-
fusal to tell why and when he went.
If it could be shown by any means
where you lost your sense of personal
knowledge, how the defendant pos
sessed himself of your ring, or any
point of similar consequence, it would
be of material aid. Something that

There is good reason for your

True"
Dogs have a more acute sense OF
