her. body to the Woman's Medical Col.

this queer will the body OF Mrs. Bench.

this Ia the only instanceon record where
educated woman has deliberately

record where a talented woman has
made such gift to science.

reproducing amPutated parts, Bonnet,

found that their power OF reproduction
were almost unlimited. In one Instance
AN amputated leg was reproduced u
times In three years, and In another an
eye was gouged out and reproduced In
less than u months. The loss OF tail
does not appear to diseommode a triton,
