making a bargain with person suffering

which is likely 20 prove Of peculiar value

Grafton. He is made to understand that
death is sure to come after certain period,
and a round sum is offered, If he be at all
reasonable and open to conviction, he will
invariably accept the money and sign the
contract.
In the museum Of Bellevue hospital are
anumber of specimens taken from "healthy
cadavers," which The late Professor Wood
regarded as valuable in showing the pro
gress made by modern surgery. One,
which attracts particular attention, Is that
representing a reproduction of a jawbone
after removal of the inferior maxilla. The
iawbone can be seen In its place in the
skull of the patient. who was a rather good
looking woman, according to her photo
graph. She had been employed in a match
factory and had contracted necrosis Of the
bone of the lower jaw from the fumes of
phosphorus, inhaled while at work. She
lived for some years with the substitute
jawbOne, and at death, as a token of graft
tude to Professor Wood, she bequeathed
her head to him for scientific purposes.
OF course it is not always certain that
the patient will die before the physician,
and this fact has led to some rather curl
Gus consequences. One patient at Bellevue
hospital, WHO mas Dben IDef6 longer bnAn
any other, has reaped quite an income
from repeated sales of his head It
seems to be a part of the ethics of this
peculiar bargaining that, in case the pa
tient survives the surgeon, he shall be
at liberty to enter into another contract.
This Bellevue patients name is Mike
Kelly. He is a small man, about 55 years
old, and suffers from six tumors on the
right side OF the face Mr. Kelly attracted
the attention of Professor John II. Wood, Of
the hospital, who had made a speciality of
tumors. A careful examination showed
that they were incurable, and that an at
tempt to remove them might result fatally.
Finally the professor made an agreement
by which Kelly, in consideration of a GER
tain sum, was to allow his head, after
death, TO be delivered over for examination.
DR.. Wood exhibited Kelly as a curiosity in
which he had a proprietary interest and
proudly related TO his fellow physicians
how he had secured the tumors all for his
own use after Mr.. Kelly's demise. Soon
Afterward the doctor died.
Mr., Kelly then contracted with another
physician in the hospital for the disposal
of his head This pledge, like the previous
one, was dissolved by the death of the ply
sician, and Mr.. Kelly smiled softly. At
last account he had made another contract,
and except for the tumors was in the en-
ioyment Of perfect health.
