ridiculous and alarming, but we
will explain. Some weeks back, DR..
Walter Hill and DR.. Wallace Bland
cut off from the stomach of this
negro a huge tumor weighing many
pounds, and upon the large bare
spot left by the operation they have
planted numberless little stars of
skin nipped from their own arms.
These stars have taken root and are
fast spreading ont to meet each
other, 80 that, as we have already
said, the black man will soon have q
