WONDERFUL SURGERY.
RIB GRAFTED ON HEAD. An extraordinary operation was performed upon Private W. Rock, a returned soldier, of Tenterfield, by a Sydney surgeon. Rock was severely wounded in the head and leg and invalided home. The injury to his head was so severe that a silver plate was placed over the bullet hole, but it proved altogether unsatisfactory, in the operation which was performed in Sydney, the plate was removed from his head, and the whole of one rib and portion of another taken out and grafted on to the head. The operation was an unqualified success.
