the latter to invest 30 pei cent. OF gross earnings

A Remarkable Case-A Man Grated
Like Tree.

Says the Sedalia (Mo.) Times: The
case:of George Gardner, OF this city, who
Is our readers may remember, had his
foot crushed on the NJ, X & I. r. r.,
some time since, has given rise to an ex-
periment and result in surgery of great
interest to the profession and destined to
command the attention of scientific read
ers everywhere. A report of the case will
doubtless find its way to the medical Jour-
nails but we may without improperly give
an outline of the experiment.
II has ALWAYS been difficult to cause the
healing of wounds where any large sur
face Of the skin was gone, as nothing but
skin will produce new skin and this only
for a short distance Qess than an inch),
round the margin. Hence in making am
putations it has always been considered
necessary to preserve a FLAP" of skin to
fold over the exposed end of the limb in
order to form covering of skin and
good .'stump.n But in Gardeners case the
patient was too weak to admit of ampu-
tation and it was question of life or death
to save the ankle joint and to form skin
covering for the crushed and mangled
stump.
This was done by a wonderful process.
Viz: by transporting or grating on the
wounded part from time to time a small
portion of the skin from another part Of
the body. Pieces of skin not so large as
q grain of wheat were taken from the pa
tents arm and grated on the larcerated
stump where they took root, as it were,
formed nucleus for growth and gradu-
ally spread till the whole surface was
completely covered with sound and new
integument of skin, and the young man
has good ankle joint and beautiful
stump. The surgeon in charge (whose
name we are not at liberty to use, } does
not claim to be the discoverer of this treat
ment, the credit of which is due to a cele-
brated surgeon of Paris-M. Reverdin, we
believe. But the present case is believed
to be the most clearly defined and emf
nently successful one yet treated in the
United States, and as such will undoubt-
eddy excite much interest in scientific cir
cles.

very aggravated description. You cannot walk with
