Surgeons, sutures.

Modern surgery employs dozens OF
different kinds of thread for sewing
up cuts and wounds. Among them
are kangaroos, horsehair, silk and
very fine silver wire. The short,
tough tendons taken from the kanga-
roo, which are used for sewing severe
wounds, are particularly valuable and
have saved many lives; they hold for
about a month before they break
away. Silk thread will hold for much
longer, sometimes six months, while
the fine silver wire is practically in
destructible. Thus surgeon is able
to select a thread that will last as
long as the wound should take to
heal, and will then disappear COM
