rifice on the part of a large body of
men can be gained from study OF the
localities represented in the list of VOL
unteers. They came from all over
New Jersey, from Philadelphia. Buff
falo. Baltimore and even from as far
west as Pittsburg.
The placing on Frederick of the 5000
bits of skin made wonderful op%ra-
ton. To-day he is doing we'll, is cheer
full and hopeful and there is prospect
that he will make what the medical
men choose to call. a good recovery"
He will not be marked much II at all
and promises to be q. thoroughly sound
and healthy man..
The physician who has thus set al de-
nance the grim reaper is an interesting
personality. In appearance DR.. Pitts
looks the medical man all over. He
has earnest, dark eyes that help his
talk and a concentrated manner essen
TALLY businesslike and exact. He is
possibly 80 years old and a graduate OF
Columbia College. He also graduated
from the College of Physicians and
Surgeons of New York city, being
member of the class of 1898
A number Of times before DR.. Pitts
has performed the operation of skin
grating, but never before on so large
denuded area and never where so
many separate pieces of skin were re-
CURED.
In speaking of Frederick's case Dr.
Pitts said three-fourths of the scalded
area was already covered and there
was no lack of prospective material.
The Thiersch method of skin-grafting
employed in this case, is performed in
the following manner:
The arms Of the applicant are first
made thoroughly antiseptic. Byt means
OF thoroughly sterilized wide razor,
applied flatwise, the derm and cpl
derm, the two topmost layers of the
skin, are removed. The razor is kept
flooded with a normal salt solution to
keep the thin graft from curling on
itself
Each graft is then Immediately laid
upon the prepared surface OF the
wound. upon which. it is f1oated from
the razor by the salt solution. 1t there
fore lies on fiat. AS grated it is gent
~ pressed into place and covered with
sterilized piece of perforated rubber
tissue wet with saline solution. This
lattice work of rubber tissue is now
moistened with salt solution and COW
cred with a scultitis bandage wet in
the saline solution.
1t is the duty of the attending nurses
to keep this bandage always moistened
TO, the proper degree. 1t must not be
too wet nor yet too dry.
The operation of removing the skin
is not very painful to the donor. In
these days, when any man is likely to
be called on, it is important that these
reassuring facts be noted. The size of
the pieces of skin removed are small.
each being about the width and about
half as long as the ordinary match.
They are taken from the arms and the
wounds generally heal after about
three dressings. Modern surgery has
eliminated the faint possibility of in
fiction. and the whole operation can
best be described as announcement.
There is absolutely no pain in apply
ing the skin to the person burned or
scalded.
The volunteers came to DR.. Pitts
twice week. AS stated. there have
been at this writing 106 volunteers. The
list is made I'D as follows:

''Blood Wine
Never Fails TO
Help Elderly
. People.

blood Wine" is unmistakably the
very best medicine for elderly people,
because of its great Strengthening
characteristics as we'll as its effect in
eliminating disease. Some old, very old,
people, take "Blood Wine" regularly
and have had remarkable results from
it, in fact, many owe their very exist
ence to it, and frankly say that it keeps
them alive. For people moderately adj
vanced in years " Blood Wine" has an
almost supernatural effect. II you are
all tired out, can't eat or sleep, feel
yourself growing old and stiff, and
infrm, blood Wine" will take che
kinks out of you before you hardly
have time to think about it. 1t will
brace you right up, and actually make
you look and feel ten years younger,
Then if you have rheumatism, kidney
disease, a dyspeptic stomach, weak
heart, or diseased lungs, it will thor
oughly cure you. There are hundreds
of thousands of people who suffer
exactly as Mr.. Harris did and they
could be cured precisely as he was if
they only knew it. BLOOD Wine"
will do the same for any one that it did
for Mr.. Harris. 1t is very pleasant to
take and contains no wine or opiates.

Mr.. Harris says Blood Wine" Saved
my Life.

Hearing that Mr.. Gilbert Harris, of
Essex Junction, Vt, a wcll-known bus
mess man of undoubted integrity, was
telling his friends about the wonderful
good "Blood Wine" had done him, a
reporter for the Daily News of Burling-
ton visited his fine home in Essex
Junction for an interview.
"Mr. Harris, upon being told the
object of his visit, at once grew enthu-
siastic in praise Of Blood Wine why,
it saved my life, he remarked. Il have
no doubt of it, and you would not had
you seen mo year ago. But let me
tell you my experience; that will be
the most convincing argument know
of.
"'I will be So years old in March,
began Mr.. Harris, and up to three
years ago was a remarkably healthy
man, being seldom, if ever, sick. About
that time had severe attack of oon-

NIP IT IN THE BUD.
First Appearance of DandruF a
Forerunner of Future Badness.

That such is the case has been con-
clusively proven by scientific research.
Prof. Unna, the noted European skin
specialist. declares that dandruff is the
burrowed-up cuticle of the scalp, caus-
ed by parasites destroying the vitality
in the hair bulb. The hair becomes life
less. and. in time. falls out. This can
be prevented.
Newbro's Herpicide kills this dandruff
germ, and restores the hair to it's natu-
raj softness and abundancy.
