Thsrs lives ID this city : young lady
named Lizzie 1winehsm. Some years ago,
whes' she was but . yousy girl, shew. e.
tackled withaa liberation Of the face, which
entirely destroyed her ,nosev upper lip, and
nearly Ill The adjacent bones. By the time
the savages of thc disease were arrested,
che W. the most hidoous-l looking being
that was ever gazed upon. Her eyes and
forehead were visible, but in pascs Of her
nooe and mouth there was nothing but an
unsightly hole, in which tlAs Iaw and pur.
pie flesh were visible away into the throat.
Nons could look upon her without turn.
Ing away in horror. Her parents were poor,
and she was compelled to leave home. She
sought labor, ~ she was able and willing to
work, tut her presence was % dissgreeabie,
on account of her terrible afliction that she
could not obtain . situation. About four
years ago she found herself out Of employ.
meat and with no homo. She was advised
to 80 10 the poor.house. Despair and
wretchednsssq seemed to be her lot. Shun.
ned - she was by society, and abandoned
by all, her sensitive nature WAS racked with
torment, and she seriously contemplated
suicide. Just At this time, 1 friend suggest
ed 70 her that probably DR.. Wright, of this
city, might be able to remedy her defoeni
~ and improve the appearance Of her face.

hope. shs called, upon, him. At-ant tho
Doctor thought Il. . hopeless esse,t but the
dcspondent and despsiring condition of the
girls mind induced him totaks me case
under serious consideration. He consulted
with Dr. j. H. Rainey, dentist, In regard 70
tho feasibility of supplying tseth and the
upper jaw, which had been entirely eaten
away. After examination, Doctor Rainey
thought he would be able 70 supply the de-
fciency. Dr.. Wright then determined to
enter upon the work Of making new face
for the young woman. ss"'.. ~ I !
The drst business WAS to supply IN up
per lip. This was An exceedingly difficult
and delicate operation. The disease had
notonly destroyed the hp, but It had result
ed in the healing process, In connecting the
6csh of each cheek to the stub Of the upper
jaw bone, In On unnatural manner. 1t was
necessary 70 cut the flesh loose from the
bone upon the inside. After this was done
and tue wound healed, piece Of hesh was
taken from the back part of the. cheek and
trassplanted 70 form . hp. THE was q!
most extraordinary operation, bat COM
plstely successful. '' ~ ..- - . w.. ,.'''
The lip being formed, the next step vas
70 supply nose. This required several
opcsasioas. A piece OF Aesk was taken
from the forehead In such . manner - to
scarcely leave scar, and brought down and
made to grow where the nose shosld be.
Other pieces were taken from each check,
aad applied In the same n,snner. r,'.-, r .
Il was necessary that months should In
tcrvene between each operation. thai. the
parts might become perfectly healeil The
different operations were emipently success
ful, and the work 10 now complete. DR..
Raipey has supplied the teeth, and
bridge for the nose, which holG it out in
tho natural manner. A stranger now meet
ing her would never imagine that she was
once without = nose or IN upper lip. She
would pass In company without any special
observation on account Of say dsformity.
We regard this case - the most wondse-
ful and Interesting in the annals Of surgery.
Dr.. Wright had already won an enviablc
fame - IN eminent surgeon, but this case
gave him pre-eminence. Dr.. Rainey b also.
deserving the greatest credit for the eskiil and
ingenuity displayed in his part of the work,
and both gentlemen arc entitled 10 the.
highest praise and tho wasmest thanks of
the public for their generous and invalus-
bic services to this poor and almost frie.d-
less young woman. Cassos (la) Ryisfer,
