This man, while driving in a sleigh,
had collided with a stump. Ire was
,hurled out violently and in falling
was impaled upon a. broken branch.
The Jagged piece of sewed struck him
JUSt below the hip joint and ranged
downward for about tour inches.
`11.10 wound produced was an
exceedingly ugly and ragged one. It
was directly over and in line with
the femoral artery, which supplies
the entire leg with blood; but,
although this great vessel was en-
tiroly laid bare and badly bruised, it
fortunately escaped puncture,
, The injured, mom leas not taken to
the hospital until three days after
the accident and it was at once evi-
dont to Dr. Kaintsky that only her-
oic measures would save either life
or log to his patient. It appeared
to Dr. Kaintsky that gangrene was
threatersed. As nearly as the sur-
goon could estimate he had just

already determinea upon the heroic
operation of removing the injured
part of the• femoral artery and re-
placing it with an artincial substa

Dr. Kaintsky wanted to Jnake a
tube six inches long, which should
so closely resemble the actual tissue
of a human artery that it would be
borue without protest by the organ-
ism in which it was to be placed.
At the end of those three clays Dr.

emerged from his laboratory.

i section of the femoral artery is a

softie case. This he opened and from'
it drew a small, hollow, elastic, al-

tsky began to place the artificial an -I
tery in position. He drew it be-
tween his fulgers so as to expel the
air, and placed a pair of artery for -
cops upon one end. Then he slipped
one end of the artery into the tube
and stitched et into place.

At the same instant, too, a good
healthy pulsation could be felt in the

to believe, that these eix days were six
ordinary days, as any simple Demon
would suppose from Ex, ax, 11, and that

for the believer is that of a resurrection

minds us that flesh produces only that
which is deshiY, and the spiritual can
only come by the Spirit. Grapes do not
grow on thorns, nor figs on thistles (John

the third day and resurrection is seen in
the stories of Isaac and Jonah and the
marriage in Cana (Gen. aril 4. Math.

with seasons, . days and years, but are
not apt to consider that they are signs,
and when attention is called to Ser. xxxi,
35, 36; xxxiii, 20, 21, and that Israel is
always a nation before God some people
are greatly astonished. The BUD turns
mir attention to the Lord God as our sun
and shield and to the time when the
righteous shall shine forth as the sun
(Ps. lx3cciv, 11; Math. aill, 43). •The
