A Triumph of Surgery.

Skin grating has for some time been
successfully practiced by surgeons for
the purpose Of cicatrizing unsight1y
wounds, but the transportation Of flesh
Is new device in the healing art which
DR.. George F. Shrady of the Presby-
terrain hospital in New York has adopted
with signal skill. Bertha Kistler,
twenty years of age, was the subject,
and the operation involved the recon
struction of nearly her entire face.
There was large hole in the check and
the nose and mouth were frightfully
distorted when the doctor took hold of
the case. and years treatment and
twenty different operations were re.
quired to make the girl new face as it
were. The most important step in the
treatment of the case was the filling up
of the hole in the face. For this pur-
pose large skin flap was wanted. It
was obtained by DR.. Shrady in the
following manner:
A rectangular section of skin was par
TALLY separated from the girls left arm
above the elbow an incision was made
in the side of the forefingerof the right
hand, extending from the first Joint
around to the thumb. The hand was
then brought over to the left arm, and
the detached edge of the skin flap was
sewed into the incision in the finger
with fine silver wire. The hand and
arm were kept immovable by plastic
bandages. In about week the skin
flap became united to the hand, but the
flap was principally nourished by the
arm. 10 change the current of nutri-
ton the flap was gradually cut from the
arm, and when it had been nearly sew
cred from the finger, and not the arm;
kept the skin flap alive: When this be-
came apparent the entire skin flap was
amputated from the arm. The hand,
with the ingrown flap, was then brought
up to the face, the SCARED skin on The
left cheek was raised and the flap was
inserted underneath. The hand was
kept in position by plastic bandages and
\ plastic cap. In three weeks the flap
became attached to the face the current
of nourishment was shanged by gradual
amputation from the finger, and finally.
when entirely separated from the hand,
the skin flap taken from the arm be-
came the foundation Of d new cheek.
70 restore the mouth DR.. Shrady de-
cided to enlarge it on one side and sew
it up on the other, and after this was
done the lips were cut into the true and
proper shape and all traces of distortion
had disappeared.
There is now only slight disfgufe-
ment of the face. From the first mo-
ment of her long martyrdom the girl
has not faltered for an instant, but has
even been impatient for the next step.
Sometimes the doctor would try to per
suade her to forego for time the oper-
alton, but she persisted in her desire.
A singular feature of the case is, that
Notwithstanding the suffering she must
have experienced, she has grown very
tat. She has been constantly the re-
cipient of flowers, wines and delicacies
of various kinds from people who though
perfect strangers to her have become
interested in her singular and remarka-
BILE patience. The gratitude she evinces
toward DR.. Shrady is Unreasonable.

The intellect that directs the bee lines
in Life, under the caption of ''How to
Handle Bees" says bee is not a very
difficult thing to handle, He is as easily
picked up as strawberry, is reasonably
light and compressible. To handle him
is, therefore, mere song. Any man
can do it. in fact the more ignorant of
bees man is the more easily he can
handle one. The main difficulty seems
to be in quoting the man down after he
has handled small, but frolicsome bee.
There have been men known to race
around 10 acre lot, and eventually lose
their salvation, after handling one bee
for the tenth part of second. What
the country really needs is an article on
how to avoid handling bees"

there was no pink and white prettiness
