WONDERFUL SURGERY
DISLOCATED NECK RIGHTED By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, September 18. In a football match early this season, James Turpin, of the Linwood Club, sustained a vertebral dislocation of the neck and was for a time very seriously ill. Several remarkable operations were performed in order to reduce the dislocation, and to the gratification of all concerned success was achieved, and on Saturday Turpin was allowed to leave the hospital. He is still wearing supports for his head and will remain under special care for some time, but there is good ground to believe that complete restoration to normal health is not far distant.
The case has already attracted notice in medical journals in other countries.
