Restored to Nationality.
: At Stamford, Conn, a unique opera
ton on the skull of the t~wo-year-old
son of Michael Gunther has given the
boy nationality. The child was born
with normal mental and physical en-
dowments and began to show, when
a year old, signs of general deficiency
in all his enses 1t was finally deter.
mined by the surgeons interested in
the case to explore the child's skull.
DR.. ]. T. Higgins, Of New York, as
sisted by Drs. Whitehorn and Hogan,
of New York, and Howell and Loeb,
of Stamford, performed the operation
at Stamford Hospital a few months
ago. They removed a strip of bone
from the skull three inches long and
one-half inch wide, to give the brain a
chance to grow. Immediately on re.
covering from the anaesthesia, a look
Of normal intelligence showed in the
child's eyes, proving the theory Of the
doctors that the skull had been press
ing unduly on the brain. With the
pressure relieved, the brain was free
to exert itself. The doctors believe
the boy will soon be able to talk and
act as nationally as the brightest of
his little playmates.
