life fluid stream may be switched
from the arteries and made to pass

operation in the diseased lower ex

used were very delicate and were
made especially for the operation
The needles used for sewing the ar
terry and vein together were as fine as
hairs, and the sewing material ever
finer. The effect upon the deadened
tissue was almost instantaneous. The
lower part Of the leg began to take
on a natural hue instead Of the purple
