CONSERVATIVE SURGERY

To the Editor of the Nonra. Cara Darcy New:

818,—Many in Shanghai will remombor that when the str. Pechili was lost in September Inst year, it was said in your paper that the log of the second officer of the str. Albonga was so badly crushed that it could not be saved. Two local doctors whom I consulted assured me, however, that this was not true. One of them ssid I need not lose my log if I did not (want to, and I asked him to do' his boat.' The log was alrendy getting green, and the bones of the foot and of the leg two inches above the foot were all broken and splintered. It was © wonder that the gangrene had not spread to the vital parts, but the fact remains that the log was saves, the broken bones boon healed, and I can move my foot almost as well now as before it was broken. It 1 little stiff at present. I loave the hospital on Tuesday next.

Tam, eto, oticer 8. 8. ALBENOA.

80th March.
