ANOTHER SURGICAL TRIUMPH.

THEY sawed off his arms and his legs, They took out his jugular vein, They put fancy frills on his lungs, And they deftly extracted his brain. ’Twas a triumph of surgical skill Such as never was heard of till then. ’Twas the subject of lectures before Conventions of medical men. The news of this wonderful thing Was heralded far and wide— But as for the patient there’s nothing to say Except, of course, that he died.
