The lamp consists of a glass jar, in
which there is a lining of saltpeter

GrafrrAg Pig Skim

A young girl having been so badly
burned on the back that the skin re-
fused to heal, the surgeon conceived
the idea of using the culticle of
young pig. A small black pig was
obtained, chlorofrmed into insensibil-
ity and brought into the operating
room swathed in sterilied towels. The
skin was laid on in small pieces I'M
til it covered the bare space. 1t was
then secured by bands. This is the
first operation of the kind undertake
en-. 1t is not expected, however, that
the pig skin will grow permanently
to the child, but that natural cuticle
will finally push it out of the way
and cover the entire wound.-LOndon
