A Toe For a Finger.

Nicoladoni has recently published a
case in which toe was surgically
substituted for a lost finger Four
months before operation, the patient
lost his right fOre6nger by accident.
The second toe was so divided that
detachment still remained to his
fOOt by means Of the soft parts, and
the roe was applied in place of the
absent finger, the parts being kept in
position by a plaster cast. For twelve
days a gradual severance Of the con.
Meeting bridge Of tissue was carried
out until Il complete separation was
effecCed The whole toe retained it's
vitality, and it Is further reported that
it has developed senslbility, although
the power Of movement has not yet
been established. Nlcoladoni hopes
that this will occur. This is his
second case of the kind Medical

CIose shavers Beware.

In shaving, says the London Family
Doctor, to make the skin perfectly
smooth requires not only the removal
OF the hair, but also a portion Of the
cuticle, and a close shave means the
removal Of a layer Of skin all around.
The blood vessels thus exposed are not
visible to the eye. but under micro.
scope each little quiyering mouth
holding n minute blood drop, protests
against such treatment The nerve
tips are also uncovered and the pores
are left unprotected, which makes the
skin tender and unhealthy, This sud.
den exposure Of the inner layer of the
skin renders a person liable to have
colds, hoarseness and sore throat.

caused by the presentation to King Ed.
ward yesterday by some American la.
dies of the hospital ship Maine commit.
tee of a medal commemorative of the
Maine's work, with request that the
king transmit the medal to Queen Alex
andra. 1t seems that the idea was op.
posed by number of influential mem
bers OF the committee on the ground
that the king did not want the medal,
but the others carried the day.
The kings reply to the delegation
which made the presentation is causing
some comment, as he thanked 1.-THE
American committee for their "loyal,
dutiful sentiment" " as he did the Kan.
sas legislature in answering their tele.
gram of coincidence on the queens death
and as he also thanked the committee
for bringing their valuable services to a
elimination by presenting the ship to
the government, whereas this was done
solely by Bernard Baker of Baltimore.
