SOME Ii1AT8 OF GRAFTING
liEARVELS OF MODERN $T GI=
CAL UPHQ.LSTERY,,
What Present Day Surgeons Are
Qapable e Doing With Our
Anatomy,
Among all the triumplis of modem
surgery there aro perhaps uouo more
wonderful than some of the. (Maori -
Monte which, within reeont years,
have been performed in the way of.
substitution et missing portions of
tho human anatomy. The grafting
of living parte and tissue from one
por•tiorl of the body to another, ot•
from the animal to the person, arid,
itt some cases, from one human inda
viduai to unother, can now, it
Memo, be undertaken with as inueli
conlldence as in the grafting of
Plante and fruits.
It le not so very long' ago when
it was thought the Ioss of a nolo
could best bo remedied by an arti-
ficial one of papier-macho; but now -
=lays surgical a0ienee regards it as
among the lighter of its achieve-
ments to supply ouch a loss with e
now, healthy, living organ moulded
in harmony with the rest of the fea-
t'lu'ee.
Ono of •the latest 1'0cerdeii triumphs
ie this din recently
tri s direction is that a e
Y
performed by Professor Berger, the
eminent French surgeon, who pre-
sented before the Academie do Mods -
eine a boy whom he had provided
with a new nose in place of the or-
iginal organ, witioh had bean lost
through the bite of a hors°. The
loss was repaired by taking a Piece
of flesh from the patient's arm, and,
after moulding - it to the requisito
drape, covering it with a strip of
skin brought 'down from the fore-
head.
The loss of the nasal organ has,
however, been replaced in various
ways, and in one of the mostre-
markable cases on record a
PIEOl8 OF RABBIT'S I30N3d,
freshly removed, was carefully graft-
ecl on to the face of the patient. Tho
oase in question was brought before
the Clinical Society a year or two
ago, when it was shown that a
youth who had lost the greater por-
tion of the nasal organ through an
accident underwent this grafting 'op-
eration with complete subcess.
A similar case attended with good
results was that of a young woman
who was provided with a new nasal
appendage of live flesh and bone, a
portion of the breath -bane of a
blackbird being used in this instance.
The breast -bone of the bird being
thus successfully grafted, 'the skin
and remaining portions of the origi-
nal nose were tralned to grow over
it, and the whole adapted to shape•
during the healing process.
A still more wonderful operation
of the kind was 'reported to have
been performed in the case of a nose -
less man at Charing Cross Hospi-
tal, London, soma few years back,
when one of the patient's _own fin-
gers, surgically propel -ed in a certain
manner, was successfully grafted on
to the face as a substitute for the
lost proboscis, and afterwards pro-
perly shaped.
But it is not to supply the place
of damaged and missing noses only
that surgical grafting is employed.
In• the case of a youth who had
splintered the bone of his arm the
daring experiment of attaching the
femur of a suitably large rabbit in
a corresponding situation in the in-
jured human limb was successfully
performed, in 1896, at Guy's Hos-
pital
An equally novel and daring ex-
periment was performed in 1898 on
a waiter who was admitted into the
Beaujou Hospital. The patient had.
sustained an accident by which his
two legs were badly crushed, but
INSTEAD OI` AMPUTATION,
as at first seeped inevitable, the
surgeons resolved to adopt the ex-
periment of grafting a portion of
the shin -bone of a calf on to each
of the injured legs. The grafting• of
the shin -bones was successful, and
it was reported tloat the lucky pa-
tient was afterwards enabled to use
his limbs 'quite freely.
In the same category of surgical
successes. most .be included the case
of .a boy operated on in the Charity
Hospital, New York. In this in-
stance a portion of a dog's foreleg
was grafted in tine patient's log to
take the place of a bone removed,
the process' taking about twelve
days to Complete.
The grafting of whole patches of
human :skein from one person to an-
other is now regarded by surgeons
as no very great difficulty. And it
may be mentioned incidentally that,
two or throe years ago, a woman in
Auckland, New •Zealand, brought, an
action against a doctor for renfov-
ing no less than fifty-two square
ilte1105 of her skin to graft on to an-
other patient who was injured and
ilisiigurecl by burns,
The repair of the damaged human
physiognomy by surgical . grafting
presents some interesting possibili-
ties, and seemingly there ie little
that the ceientifie surgeon darn not
attempt in this direction, It is
an actual fact that surgery has
found a Means of supplying a Pa-
tient with a new face if needs be.
One of tho inos't remar1 bible cases
in the anomia of medicine eamo to
light in 1808, when a patient , who,
hadaccidentally shot away part of
.11isfeatures was supplied with .a
face of celluloid and indiarubber, --

IT PUZZLED HIM.
It said of a former Marquis. of
Townshend that when young and et -
gaged in a battle he saw a drum -
mei" at his side killed by a cannon
bali, which scattered his brains in
every direction. Hie eyes worn at
once fixed on tho ghastly object,
which seemed to engross his

calmness, but severity, "I ant net

the drill -hall, and given the regular
drill of a military recruit for one

regulations governing the conduct o
a policeman.- At noon 110 is given
an hour and a half for lunch, and
in the afternoon repeats the per-

In the evening he is given the op-
portunity to become thoroughly

otonous to the recruit, and all are
glad when they are given regular
duty. Out of the recent batch of
recruits, several failed to tarn out

struction.'
Twice a week a probationer is
given instruction in the use of the
revolver, and at spare moments in-
formed of the manner to use the

BABY'S OWN TABLETS.
Keep Little Ones Well During the
Hot Weather Months.
If you want to keep your little
ones hearty, rosy and full of life dur-
ing the hot weather giro them
Baby's Own Tablets the moment
they show signs of being out of or-
der in any way.
This medicine cures all form's of
stomach and bowel. troubles, which
carry off so many little ones during
the summer months, and is the best
thing in tho world for sleeplessness,
ner•vousaress, irritation when teeth-
ing, etc. It is just the medicine for,
hot weather troubles; first, because.
it always does good; and, second,
becauseitcan never do any barna—
guaranteed free from opiates. Mrs,
W, E, Bassam, Kingston, Ont., says:
—"I began using Baby's Own Tab-
lets when my little girl was about
three months old. At that time she
had indigestion badly; silo was
vomiting and had diarrhoea con-
stantly and although she had an ap-
parently ravenous appetite her food
did her no good and she was very
thin, , Nothing helped her until we
began giving her Baby's Own Tab.
lets, but after giving her those the
vomiting and diarrhoea ceased and
silo boon to improve almost at
once. I have since used the Tablets
for other troubles and have found
them all that can 110 desired—they
are the best medicine I have ever
used for child,"
These Tablets are reaclily taken by
all children, and can be given to the
smallest, weekest'infant by crushing
them to a powder. Sel1.ttt drug

nifty years ago pemmican was to

peoples in most civilized portions of

Omitting the excitement of the

description of pemmican making by
the Indians a quarter of a century
