“LIVE” ARTIFICIAL LIMBS.
The- German Press says that lively hopes have been aroused in the bosoms of the tens of thousands of war-maim-ed men in Germany and Austria-Hun-gary by the discovery of Professor Sauerbruch, a Zurich surgeon, At last week's medical congress in Vienna Sauerbruch gave a successful exhibition of his “operative process” of enabling artificial limbs to carry out voluntary movements “with the aid of living sources of strength.’ ’ The newspapers are without details, but assume that the Swiss surgeon has found some method of joining up artifical arms, legs, hands, or feet, to living tissues or joints.
