PARALYSIS CURED.
REMARKABLE OPERATION IN SYDNEY HOSPITAL. Sydney, December, 27. As the result of collaboration between Dr Hunter, Professor of Anatomy in the Sydney University, and a prominent specialist, remarkable operations have been conducted in Sydney Hospital for the treatment of certain forms of paralysis. The first patient treated was a returned soldier. .... ** The operation, which was completely successful, consisted in the severing of the involuntary nerves from the voluntary nervous system. The rigidity of the limbs immediately disappeared, and freedom in the affected limbs soon reasserted itself. Now the patient is able to maintain his erect posture and walk up and down stairs with a minimum amount of disability.
