reason Lena VOLTS brain was dull
and inactive was because the blood
was not feeding it as it should.
One of the principal duties of the
pancreas. situated just behind the
stomach. is to superintend the regular
feeding of the brain with good blood,
according to the theory of the Ger
man surgeon. In the case of Lena
Wolff he believed the pancreas was
minus one very important digestive
essential, without which it could not
do it's work properly. That very i'm
portant essential had to be supplied
by grating portion of ductless
gland from another living person.
The child's mother readily offerer
herself as a sacrifice. She was per-

NEW ACHIEVEMENTS
OF GREAT SURGEONS
Operations That Almost Seem Incredible Now Sue
cessfully Performed as Matter of Course.
Most Recent the Work of Dr. Karl of Berlin in Which
Devoted Mother Gave Part of Her Own Throat to Convert
Her Idiot Daughter Into Bright Little Gil.

New York.-Medical men here and
abroad are awaiting with considera-
BILE interest a report from Berlin Civ
Ing complete details of a most daring
and unusual surgical operation per-
formed there a few weeks ago.
An idiot child. the six-year-old
daughter of Mrs. Louis Wolff, resi-
dent of Berlin, has been converted
into an intelligent being by the proc
ess of grating part of the mothers
thyroid gland upon the child's pan
creas. Reduced to palmer language.
this means that part of the mothers
throat has been transferred by the
grating process to a gland, or tissue,
lying directly at the back of the stom-
ach. By this operation the dull, in
active brain of little Lena Wolff has
been awakened so that it is now per-
forming the duties for which 1t was
intended
This, in the history of medical
science, is without parallel, not only
because such an operation was never
attempted before, but also because
of its seeming vagueness. The idea
of grating part of the throat of a
mother to the pancreas gland of her
child with the expectation of convert
ing the child from idiocy to a normal,
mental condition would seem at first
glance unworthy of serious consider
alton. But DR.. Karl Garre, professor
of surgery in the medical faculty of
Breslau university, to whom the oper-
alton is credited, did exactly what has
been described above, and recent de-
spatches from Berlin declare that the
operation has been pronounced a COM
plete success.
Professor Garre Is an eminent Ger
man surgeon whose success in the
transplanting of organs from one ami
NAL to another and even from the
lower animals to human beings, has
attracted the atteNion and admira-
ton of surgical men all over the
world. When his report OF how he
changed Lena Wolff from an idiot into
a bright and intelligent little girl is
completed 1t will form a valuable ad-
dition to the list of modern miracles
of surgery.

ready received from Germany it ap-
pears that Lena Wolff was born an
idiot six years ago, says the New
York World. Reason never dawned
for her as in other babies. She had
come into the world without one ap-
parent spark of intelligence and
seemed doomed to pass her whole life
without knowing the joys ard sorrows
of living.
Her case was called to the attention
of Professor Garre, who was inter
ested from the very beginning, be-
cause in 1t he saw a possibility of be-
ing able to prove the correctness of a
theory on which he had been at work.
This involved the probable action or

Some Surgical Marvels.
Philadelphia and Toledo. Ohio, have
recently. contributed to the list of
marvels of surgery through operations
on the brains of incorrigible and men
tally defective boys. A still more re-
cen: case is that of Carl Fredericks.
aged nine years. of No. 200 Clinton
street, Hoboken. He is under observa-
ton at the Railway Reformatory prep
aratory to the practical reconstruction
of his brain.
The doctors say the boys brain is
so peculiarly constructed that it pre-
vents him from being good for more
thEn an hour at time. The head is
of abnormal shape, the skull coming
to point. The ears are small and
protrudlng. and the eyes are as sharp
as a ferrets.
Tests made few days ago showed
that the boy had no sense of right or
wrong. This is attributed to an alb
normal brain growth. AS a result of
this operation, which includes the cut
ting out of certain parts of the brain.
1t is expected to relieve the boy of his
wicked tendencies and transform him
into a model youth.
Scientific surgery is gradually solv-
ing the problem of making us over
piecemeal. Raymond Moore, aged 20,
of Baltimore, lost the sixth and sew
en.h ribs on the right side. DIR. Ham
ilton Brown replaced them with ar
tihcial ribs of hard rubber tubing.
By an operation at Fordham Hos
pital, Joseph Relcher was supplied
with silver windpipe to replace the
original, which had been damaged be-
yond repair by hard fall.
Dr. Kaintsky, the famous Russian
surgeon, recently astonished the medi-
cal world by furnishing n man with
artificial arteries. The operation took
place in DR.. Kaintsky's private lab
oratory at St Petersburg. The pa
tient. a very rich farmer and cattle
raiser. Ivan Poitinkask by name, had
collided violently with a stump while
driving in a sleigh. He was hurled
out and impaled upon broken branch.
The jagged piece of wood struck him
below the hip joint and ranged down
for about four inches. The wound
was an exceedingly ugly one. 1t was
directly over and in line with the fe-
moral artery. which supplies the en-
tire leg with blood. DR.. Kaintsky
saved Poitinkask's life by removing
the injured part of the femoral artery
and replacing it with an artificial one.
