severely burned whist cooking straw. The
extent OF surface involved was SO great. and
the burn so deep, that healing by the ordinary

piece OF skin was removed from the arm and

cured. This is one OF the many improves
ments in modern surgery-caled skin gratis

one part of the body, or even from the BODY
OF another and planting it upon the part it Is
desired to heal. BY this means wide spread

cured in few days. DR.. Manning performed
the operation and deserves great credit for his
success. not only in this. but in manv other
cases he has treated. He is rising man. and
