FROG SKINS

At ST. Luke's Homeopathic hospital girl

to get the raw surface to heal, but the flesh

The surgeons at the hospital about three
weeks ago put the patient under ether ana
str heightened the arm ard then took small
strips of skin from the thigh and trans
planted them to the ulcer. Some of these
skin gratis have attached themselves to the
ulcer and are growing. The ulcer has thus
been diminished about one-half.
Finally frogs were called into serVlce
About one and a half dozen of these were
secured by boy from the ponds round about,
and, after getting the arm exposed and pre-
pared for the purpose, the frogs were pinned
on their backs to board, and the skin from
the breast removed with scissors. AS each
piece was removed it was placed In weak
salt solution and then carefully transferred
way the ulcer was covered in. Over the
gratis protectine was placed. and the arm
wrapped up in gauze dressings, wet with
weak salt solution. In two or three days
the gratis will be examined, and doubtless,
most, II not all, of them will be found at
tached to the tissues of the pa.ient.
The patient appreciates the superiority of a
resort to frogs, rather than robbing one part
of her body of its skin to furnish another.
The profession will watch this case with con-
siderable interest.
