Show THUMB SAVED. Some days ago, a demented boy, living in a neighborhood settlement, accidentally cut the thumb of the right hand very nearly off, close in the hand. It hung by a small strip of skin on the inside. A pair of scissors was about to be applied for the purpose of completely severing the thumb from the hand, when a second thought prevailed, and the patient was brought to Mr. D. B. Lamoreaux, the druggist of Logan, who sewed the thumb on all around, and dressed it. As a result, the cut has grown together, and the injured member will no doubt be saved. |
