DIR. John Eye, Readings skin-graft-
ing specialist, whoa year ago or more
gained considerable notoricty by sue
ccssfully transplanting skin from the
forearm of a colored man to the leg of a
white man, and who subsequently
manufactured dime museum freak by
planting a flowing mustache upon the
upper lip of handsome young woman
is continuing his experiments in that
direction, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord.
The doctors latest achievement, per-
formed few days ago with every evil
dcnce of success, is that of supplying n
bald headed man with covering Of
hair that football player might envy
The patient upon whom this operation
was performed is Charles Mueller of
Washington, ID. c., and the subject
from whom the material was drawn to
cover the bare spots on the patients
head was Mr.. Gertiesu.
DR.. Eye removed from the head of
Gcrtiesu piece of scalp one and
quarter inches wide by two and half
inches lang, well covered with hair,
and rcplantcd it upon the head of
Mueller. This operation took place
Saturday last, and there is every evi.
dencc of the transplantcd piece OF
scalp with hair attachment growing
The soreness created by the removal
Of portion of Gerticsu's scalp is almost
healed, the doctor having so skillfully
drawn the laccrated scalp together as
to almost remove all evidence of its re-
moval, with the exception of two small
spaces, which he purposcly left open
with the view of further experiments
Ho will cover those spots with hair
covered skin taken from some animal
and upon the successful attachment OF
that transplanted animal skin upon the
head of Gcrticsu depends the fate of the
fu:Urc bald-hcaded men. If the doctor
be successful the bald will no longer be
compelled to hide their badness under
the old-fashioncd, uncomfortable wig
bat can simply surrender themselves tc
the doctor. and have transplartcd to
their patcs the covering of some other
fellow who is willing to surrender his
hair for golden salve.
