SKIN WANTED FOR
BURNED CHILD.
Mother Refuses TO Give Her cuti-
Gle to Be Grated on Body
of. Her Offspring.

A colored girl, ten years of age. with
nearly a square foot of skin missing
from her shoulders and bac.- as the result
of a. severe burn. is one of the patients
in the wards OF the Virginia Hospital,
and has -een shown as a clinic patient
before the medical class Of the Univer-
sity College of Medicine.
To supply the missing cuticle new skin
will have to be grated covering the
wound and how to secure this skin is
the question which is now piizzling the
surgeons. The child is not strong enough
physically to supply the skin from other
portions OF its body and for that reason
it will have to be procured from the
body Of another person. The mother has
been asked to allow the cuticIe to be
taken from her person to cover the raw
surface on the back of her offspring, but
has so far declined.
The surgeon in charge of the case now
considers LIS best chance to procure tho
skin is by awaiting the amputation of
leg or arm at some hospital in the city
and from that member will take the
cuticle for the autoplastic operation.
The child. who resides in the eastern
part of the city. was severely burned
several weeks ago. and the wounds
have healed remarkably we'll on all
parts of the body save the back whers
