A SURGICAL TRIUMPH
; An extraordinary surgical operatioa has been successfully performed on a wounded soldier at Sunderland Hospital. When at the front a piece of shrapnel struck him on the head and dislodged a piece of bone. The Sunderland surgeons took strips of bone from the patient's shin and fitted them into the skull cavity, which was 3in, by 4Jin. Tile new bone knitted with that of the skull, and the patient rapidly recovered. He is now going about, is in high spirit, and save for the scar on the head, which his hair is covering, shows no sign of the injury he had received.
