Yet often and often the surgeon is called upon to perform opera- tions without any such aids, and then the ordeal may be almost as severe for doctor as it is for pa- tient. . For instance, in a railway atecu- dent. One raw winter morning,‘ two years ago, a passenger Mighty ing in a. hurry from a. train at the little station of Earlesbown, near Warrington, slipped and fell between the still moving train and the platform. A doctor, summoned in haste, found that, the only possible meth- od of extricating the unfortunate man was to amputatc one of his legs. . . i _ I ,_7] A“ “an.

What made the horrible businey more terrible was the fact that it was impossible to givthe injured man chloroform. He remained con- scious all through the operation, In spite of the cramped position in which the surgeon was compelled to work, and the lack of light and appliances, the operation was quickly and successfully finished, and the sufferer removed to a hos.» pital. . Often in war time surgeons have had lo operate on the battleheid, sometimes actually under fire. But it was under fire of a different sort that two doctors performed an op- eration at the hospital at Bidde- ford, in the State of Maine. The operation was to remove an inter- nal ulcer, but five minutes after they had begun it was discovered that the hospital was ahre. To move the natient was to kill To move the patient was to kill her. The surgeons stuck to their work. The roar of flames was plainly heard, and the hiss of water from the fire hose. Presently wa- ter began to pour through the roof and pieces of wet plaster to fall thudding to the floor. The nurses put up umbrellas and held them over the patient and the doctors. No one dreamed of moving until all was finished and the wound sewn up. Then the patient was re- moved to a place of safety. Operating Vnder Fire. Test .
