arm, or leg, finally said:

II wish to know, Professor, by what

about that-but cannot agree with
you that the business is at all odd, 1t is

Certainly; the skin Is removed from
q certain portion OF the arm, the pro-
per preparations made, and the arm
then bound tightly over the missing
nose. The flesh soon adheles to the
face, then the arm is detached and the
nose is shaped. The advantage of this
style of nose, while it may not be 30
