demonstrating n Face

Bertha kistler, who for eighteen months
has been under treatment by DR.. George Il,
Shrsdy. visiting surgeon OF the Pres byte
rian hospital, left the Institution yesterday
q living, grateful monument OF surgical
ingenuity and skill. Bertha Kistler is now
about 20 years old, and fifteen ears ago she
WAS treated by an unskilfil surgeon In Ger
many for a supposed cancerous growth in
the left chsss, The alment proved 10 be
OF another character, but the operation de-
stroyed ali symmetry Of the child's face
leaving large hole IA The cheek, and tue
mouth ana nose trightfully distorted.
Eighteen m onths ago the girl called on DR..
Snrady to discover II anything could be
done to remedy her deformity.
She was only poor working girl, but
begged to 20 TO the hospital and pay for
treatment by work. The doctor held out
little encoursgem ent to her, but at last con
sented to undertake the task OF building up
v!rtuslly new countenance. Soon alter
thtr first operation was performed, and in
the course OF a year 1t was followed by six.
teen others. Most CT the fee was made
over by transplantation Of flesh from ad-
jscent parts.
The most important step in the treat.
meps Of the case, was the filing up OF the
whole in the face. For this purpose large
skin flap was wanted, 1t was obtained Ia
the following manner: A rectangular sec
ZION Of skin was partially separated fem
the girls arm shove the ell ~ow. An inclsion
was made in The side OF .he !orehnger Of
the right hand, extending from the ii ret
10 mt around 10 the thumb. The hand was
then brought over 10 the left nfm, aud the
detached edge OF the skin flap was sewed
into this incision in the finger with fire
silver wire. The hand and nrm were Kept
immovable by plastic bsndages. In about
q week the skin flap became united TO the

from the arm, and when IL had been neBr,y
save red the ii lger, and not the arm, kept
the skin flap alive. When this became ap.
parent the entire skin flap was stipulated
rom the arm. The hand, with the ingroNn
far, was then broughs up to the face, the
was raised and the flap was inserted
underneath. The hand was kept in posi-
ton by plastic bsndsges and plastic cap.
In three weeks the II sp became attached 10
the face; the current Of nourishment was
ohsnged by gradual amputation from the
finger, and finally, when entirely separated

DEATH ON THE TRAIN.

DEATH ON THE TRAIN.
There was aboard the excursion traia OF
the Missouri Pacific. which arrived 6atur-
day night, n young Danish mother In deep
distress. She had nut iecantly arrived in
this country, landing mt Now York with
her little daughter, and was en- route TO San
Francisco to jJin her husband, who had
preceded her. Her child was taken III in
coming over, and had what Is called the
ship fever. As they travelled the little one
grew worse. Through the kindness
OF the rail way officials she managed
to get aboard the excursion train.
When the train reached LoDgview the little
, one breathed its last In grief OF the
mother az described by the passengers, was
unbounded and very 'ouoh!ng She could
not speak word OF Elglioh or German.
and II appeared tina, with no cue to utter
to her words OF sympathy that she would
go wild with grief. The kind hearts oil the
excursioDists we're touched by the scene
and when 1t becama known
that the bereavsd mother was poor pos.
sessing barely su,iicie ut money with which
to accomplish her Journey, they went down
in their pockets aud soou raised neat
sum OF moaey for her; besides they sent a
telegram ahead to Terrell ordering cssk
and burial robs for the little one. On the
arrival OF the train the rema aims we're placed
In II. The mother by signs siguiied that
she desired to take the remains along
with her, and. they w,r, accordingly
shipped for 5su Francisco. Though she
could not convarss with them, her looks
aud tears OF deep gratitude tod those who
had bstriended her, far better than words,
her heartfelt appreciation OF their kindness
az they grasped her prof -red hand.
