Remarkable Surgical Work.

Baltimore, Aug. l2.-Physicians at
Johns Hopkins are performing a new
treatment for POTTS disease, COM

mating the old mechanical devices.
Grating of bone forms a conspicuous
part. The operation is performed in
similar manner to that for the
stiffening of the knee joint, as was
done recently by mortising the knee
plate to one Of the tendons of the leg
and into the joint, after the tough
and tibrous tissues surrounding the
bone had been removed, thus gener-
ating the necessary bony tissue.
The tibrous tissues as removed, were
preserved and returned to the upper
and lower joints, where a continuous
bone was produced, thus obliterating
