A medical correspondent sends to an
English newspaper an account of a re
markable oneration recently performed
in one of the largest London hospitals,
and which had a very successful re
suit. It seems that an artisan, about
thirty years of age, some five years
ago fell and severely injured his right
arm, It was operated upon at the time
and the result proved that either the
surgeon by misadventure had divided
the nerve or it had been torn in the
fall At all events, the injured arm
never recovered its former appearance,
but wasted and became quite useless.
It was a serious misfortune to a work-
ing man, and it was decided to open
up the arm and explore, with the re -
Salt, as first surmised, that the nerve
was found to be partially divided. , Two
fresh ends were made, and a live rab-
bit having been obtained, it wasren•
dered unconscious, skinned, and the
two sciatic neryes were extracted and
stitched to the two ends of the diyided
nerve in the man's arm," The .wound
was then stitched up, and the patient
placed in bed It is now some •weeks
since the operation, antithe result is
most fayorable, The man his perfect
