BUILDING UP A NEW NOSE.
Very Curious and Costly Sur(lical Op-
eration.
The \Veklminster County Circuit Court,
Landon, England, has awarded the
[Derma Fealural Company fifteen gui-
neas, the balance due for "building up
a new nose" for a Mr. Spence. Seven
pounds had already been paid.
According to a surgeon, the opera-
tion of building up a new nose must
necessarily be an expensive luxury,
"-The entire result," the doctor said,
"depends on the skill of the operator,
whether he decides to make a clean in-
cision and cut away a too prominent
p erlion of the cartilage or bone, or
whether he uses the paraffin wax nie-
ihod. in this, liquid paraffin wax is
injected through a tiny puncture in the
skin, and then the wax is moulded by
the operator into the desired shape.
The strictest antiseptic precautions
must be observed, or very serious dis-
figurement may result.
"in other cases where, through burns
o: lupus, the skin on the nose has
Leen destroyed, transplantations of
shin from the forehead or finger must

Ilse little finger of one of the patients
hands was partially stripped off, and.
while still getting its natural blood
supply from the finger vessels, was
sewn on to the denuded nose, the arm

"The operation ons tried three times
unsuccessfully on this patient because.

ger skin had become sufficiently firm-

away from the finger which supplied
with blood, the patient's nervous-
ness compelled tum to tear his hand

would be considerable."
