 Here we depict an up-to-date surgical operation, showing a man s leg being amputated just above the knee joint. Three surgeons are engaged in the work and are attended by several female trained nurses. The camera is placed in such a position as to command a clear view of the entire operation. Each cut of the surgeon s knife is plainly shown in detail, even to the sawing of the bone, the cauterizing of the wound, and the sewing and the bandaging. This is a picture that will doubtless interest the medical fraternity or lecturers.
