A REMARKABLE surgical operation has
been performed OIL son of James MUIR
ply Of Toilette by DIR. Harris Of this
city. The young man is now about eigh-
teen years of age and is stout, healthy
looking fellow. He was born without a
palate, or more strictly speaking with e
divided palate, it being in two small
parts. AS the boy was situated lie could
not speak plain enough for stranger to
understand him. DIR. Harris took up
his case and after cutting away the use
less parts of the old palate carved out q
new one from the aeshy tissues and skin
in the back part of his mouth, secured it
in position with six or seven stitches
and now after two or three weeks OF
healing the new palate does its work go
well that the boy speaks clearly and dis.
tinctly and with no more difficulty than
might I've expected from one who was 80
lately almost mute. This surgical Ia
Dor took over five hours. DR.. Cam.
eron. Emerson. assisted DIR. Harris in the
operation. 1t is hard to say who is most
pleased and proud of the success of the
operation; the boy, the family. or the
doctor, but they all have good reason
for it.
