DREAM OF AMPUTATED LIMBS
Feelings Of Those Who Have Losi
Arm or Leg Can Only Be Cured
by Time.

DR.. Edred n Corner, the famous
London surgeon, has been studying the
dreums Of persons who have lost M
arm or leg by amputation. and he re.
ports some interesting observations to
1.-THE Practitioner" 1t 10 well known
that after amputation the lost limb Is
still felt, at any rate for time, and
such sensations are called phantom
limbs"
DR.. Corner says these are unusual
among the young but frequent among
the older, and they pass away with
time, after eight months or q year the
patient being unconscious of the lost
limb except when he thinks about IL
A man who has lost one limb may
dream that he has lost both or that
he has lost the wrong one, or that the
one amputated is still there but seems
awkward or hurts; the dreamer cam
not bend the phantom leg or arm or
finds Il stiff and heavy.
Badly fitting artificial limbs agra.
vate the sensations, evidently by irri-
tatlng the severed nerves. Cold, damp.
changes Of weather and absence OF
occupation for the mind increase the
sensations. The nearer the trunk the
limb has been cut Off the worse are
the pains and the longer they are like
ly TO continue.
Sometimes an operation or massage
win cure a persistent case, but gener-
ally IL has to be left to time
