ARM OF SLEEPS LEG
WONDERFUL OPERATION OF a
NEW YORK SURGEON.
He Took q Sleeps Leg and Mace a
New Arm tos Man Who Lad
Lost Oae Of His.

A New York dispatch says at the
Harlem Hospital there is a patient
who has new arm made from a
sleeps leg. This sounds remarkable
even in this age Of medical marTels.
It is one OF the wonders performed
before the delegates OF the Clinical
Congress which as been in session
there for the past week. The op-
Grafton was performed by DR.. Walter
Ambrickner.
Just why sheep's leg was chosen
for substitution in the place OF a
decayed bone in the mans arm may
not be clear 70 the layman. but it Is
to the surgeons. The leg bone OF
sheep they say has the right knitting
tissues and flexibility and in lorna
ton lends itself to replacement IN the
human arm.
The leg was amputated from the
sheep early Thursday morning, re-
NAMED in solution twenty hours af-
ter being scraped and was carefully
treated before long being ready to be-
ceme part OF the human frame.
Every particle Of the decayed bone
in the patients arm was carefully
cut away, leaving gap into which
the sleeps bone was dove-talled,
then fastened With sterilized wire
nails.
The fleshy portion Of the arm,
which was sliced open, will be kept
SC for two or three days. until there
is no doubt Of the bones knitting
properly. Then the sit will be sew
ed up and In a couple Of weeks Mr..
Patient will have an arm as good as
new.
There was exhibited at the Har-
lem hospital most remarkable case
Of surgery. The patient was Wo-
man who had fallen four floors
down a circular stairway and crush
ed her face beyond all recognition,
fracturing many bones. DR.. H. J.
Ksuffer, surgeon-dentist, reset the
broken bones and wired the jaws
together and today the patient hasn't
q blemish on her face.
DR.. Kauffer, who Is consulting
surgeon at the hospital. also gave
demonstration Of wiring broken Jaw
bones. He exhibited one patient who
had lust broken his jaw. but could
eat without any trouble, whatever.

HIGER RANK IN NAVY.
Secretary Meyer Wishes to Have Ad'
mirals Again.

Secretary Meyer will make an ear
nest effort during the approaching
session Of Congress to secure the an
actment Of legislation for Increased

manenrly for an admiral and seVerai
vice admirals so that when the Amer
ican fleet, entering foreign waters
it's officers shall not be compelled to
Weld procedure to ranking officers OF
foreign nations. Although the Unit
ed States holds second place In sea
power, 10 of the navies OF the wor'o
include at least vice admirsls. Nine
Of them have admirals.
Legislation to cure this condftion
progressed in Congress last session
through both naval committees. but
was defeated by point OF order In
the Senate. Secretary Meyer will no"
urge that another measure OF the
same kind be reported.
