Seigman, 78 years old, of York, secretly cut off several inches more of his leg and is apparently none the worse for it, though it is not expected that he can recover from gangrene, which was the cause of the original operation. Mr. Seligman was afflicted with gan. grene early last May. The course of the disease was held in check by treatment, but could not be cured. Physicians decided that to stop the dis. ease the leg would have to be amputated above the knee, and Mr, Seigman’s age forbade this. He insisted that the leg be cut off, end finally Dr. W. Clarkson Smith cut off the foot at the ankle. This did vot satisfy Mr Seigman, and one day when no one was in the room, he secur. ed his carpenter tools and removed three inches more leg, cutting off the bone either with a saw ora file.
