There is but little doubt that the
sacrifice these two noble women made
will be the means of saving the little
life that has for days lowered be-
tween this world and the World Be
yond and only this sacrifice and will
ingness to suffer intense pain could
haved little Margaret.
1t will be remembered that when
she was so terribly injured four
weeks ago the little girl had the
skin burned in great patches from
the right arm, side and hip and the
injuries failed to respond to the
ordinary methods of healing conse-
quently the physicians found that
IT would be necessary to graft skin
upon the little one if she was to be
brought back to health.
The mother at once offered to have
skin removed from her body to re-
place that on her loved one but the
physicians announced that so great
would be the amount of skin requlr-
ed that two persons would have to
be called upon to make these precious
gifts to the little girl.
Then Mrs. William Pollock an in
innate friend of the mother, volun-
teered to make the sacrifice.
This morning the operation was per
formed at the Billig home at 305 S.
Avenue. DIR. II. S. Henderson and
DR.. Jackson were the physicians in
charge.
Mrs. Billig and Mrs. Pollock were
put under the influence of an anaes-
thetic but the little girl. who natural
ly was not called upon to suffer as
intense pain as would have been felt
