* One of these cured by amputation, after a long continued effort to save it;
but in the end the deformity was so great, that the limb was useless. The injury
was originally caused by the patient leaping from the box of a carriage whilst
the vehicle was in rapid motion, thus producing a compound fracture of the leg
just above the ankle joint, both bones protruding and striking the ground.
f One was a lacerated wound of the cornea.
