Physicians' Statement,
The following statement is made
the phj-sicians, of tho convcrsan
that took place on the night they
re summoned to dress yong Evans
isley's hand, that had been ined
by a lire cracker of the cannon
iety. Of which accident the
ion Times mado mention, in last
jk's issue:
'Wo do not .-ay that the boy's fins
cannot bo saved. We cannot
until we anesthetize tho patient-,
I see what is in tact. If wo see
t they can bo saved, wo will save
m, out if they can not wo will annate.
We cun not yet tell from
mangled condition, what can ho
io until we mnko a thorough exInation."
Why wo did not make
i examination was because tlio
ther wouVd not consent, for us to
putnto even if we found it nocosy.
Wo decided, with this oppoion,
that a temporary dressing of
iseptic gauze, to prevent any
>tic matter from getting into the i
und would be all that would bo |
jessary, until some other arrangent
could bo made to suit Lho wishes
