There is at the present time in the Waimate Public Hospital a little child with both .feet amputated, owing to frost-bite. A heavy fall of snow was experienced in. the Waimate . district about a month ago, and while the snow was on the ground the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. Turnbull, of Kedeliff, became accustomed to walk on the snow, without any shoes or stockings on. .Eventually the feet became quite dead. The child was taken into the Waimate Hospital, where the . doctors found that it would be necessary to amputate, the operation being performed on Friday last. The young patient is now making a satisfactory recovery from the operation (states a Southern paper).
