MAKES NEW NOSE FOR CHILD.
Rare Operation I'm skilled Surgery
Performed on a Little Girl
mt Milwaukee.

Twelve-year-old Ella Bruck will come
with an entirely new nose, with which
she can sniff as daintily as she could
before the accident which temporarily
deprived her entirely of her nasal or
gan. The operation, which was entirely
successful, was performed by DIR. Lev
ings, with the assistance of the hospital
physicians. The doctors say that it was
a most remarkable operation, and that
they do not know Of an exactly similar
one ever performed in this country or
elsewhere.
Elias accident was n fall, which
bumped her nose so severely thatit dis
appeared entirely, leaving a depression
where the nose should be. The child
suffered so much torture that her
father, who is DOCTOR decided il would
be feasible to attempt to build for the
child an entirely new nose from her own
flesh, skin and bone.
ut the hospital a flap in the shape Of
aninverted heart three and half inches
long and two inches wide was cut out of
the center OF the child's forehead being
Joined TO it only at the tip of the flap.
The external layer Of bone, together
with the skin and flesh, was removed,
and then the entire flap was twisted
around so that it hung over the nose
less place, but was still attached to the
forehead. The bony part of the portion
removed was detached in broken bits.
The bits of bone grew together and
gave it firmness and finally it was a
most presentable nose. The center Of
the patients upper lip was cut out and
turned up in order to form the partition
between the nostrils. The patient has
now left the hospital with as perfect a
nose as that of any of her companions.

PHOTO OF STOMACH.
Device for Taking Interior View Of
the Organ Used with Success.
An Active Principle of the New In
ventiOn In the ROentgen Rays
-Berlin Professor Now
Uses IL.

Prof. Grunmach, of Berlin, the first
physician to practically apply the new
instrument for photographing the in
terror of a stomach by an adaptation of
the Roentgen rays, said:
This instrument, manufactured by
Kohl, of Chemnitz, has been used at
Berlin for some weeks with most valua-
BILE results. 1t is destined, in my opin-
ion, to prove of enormous advantage in
treating all stomach disorders. 1t has,
indeed, twofold use; first, for the
pathologist to observe the course Of
disease in the stomach, and, second, for
the Psychologist who desires TO follow
the mechanical and chemical action of
that organ. l have applied it with both
objects and ii has worked admirably.
1t is not yet perfected, but it has been
found invaluable here in diagnosis, and
already through its instrumentality
important discoveries have been made
in connection with gastric juice and in
following the action of the acids and
pepsin of the gastric juices on albumin
Gus and gelatinous bodies.
I'VE can now see what before, by the
aid of elaborate treatment, we would
only grope after doubtfully and ascer-
tain uncertainty. | foresee great flu
ture before this instrument, especially
in the cure of that curse of modern life,
dyspepsia, which is the foundation for
so many disorders.
Il am not at liberty to describe the
structure of the instrument, but it
would not exist but for the discovery Of
the Roentgen rays. 1t will before long
form necessary part of the equipment
of every hospital"

HAS THE CANCER MICROBE.
Paris Doctor Does Not Hold Out Pre-

the Disease, However.

DR.. Bra, discoverer of the cancer
microbe, in an interview at Paris con.
firms the statement that he has sue
ceeded in isolating the parasite which is
invariably present in eancerous
growths.
1t is fungoid of the ascomycetes
family, and certainly the active agent
of cancer.
NEGOTIATIONS of animals with cul-
tivation produced cancerous tumors,
from which the parasite was again iso-
lated.
DR.. Bra declines TO hold out prema-
ture hopes for curative treatment for
cancer.
So far he has only made insufficient
clinical experiments, but he admits
that these are encouraging, and says he
will be able to speak with certainty in
a few months.

A Curiosity in Wills.

The outer uniformity about wills in
general both as to parchment and pen
manship makes all the more note
worthy the last testament of the late
George Parker. Sir George, who lost
his life at Cawnpur during the Indian
mutiny, had only tiny scrap of paper
on which to write his will, and when it
was made it was carried through the
lines by native, who concealed il in
his ear. Fragile as it is, it will doubt
less outlast as a curiosity and almost as
n bit of national history many bulky
manuscript inscrolled on material
prepared to defy the decay of years.
