GRATING SAVES LIFE
Dubuque Nun is Recovering After Re.
nnarkable Skin Grating Operation
Sister Nuns Came to injured wom-
ans Rescue.

Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque, Aug. Cit now seems that
after a remarkable skin grating treat
ment, Sister Mary Callista is to recov-
err. and the self sacrifice of her friends
and the heroic spirit shown by herself
are to bear fruit.
Last fall while waxing floor in st.
Joseph's college in Dubuque, the prep
aration used ignited and the young
lady was frightfully burned. Practi-
cally her whole body suffered, in many
places the burns extending clear to the
bone.
The test of friendship was made
when the need was known Of pieces of
skin to be grated on the sufferer. Sis
ter Mary Callista has made many
warm friends during her short life
among the sisters at ST Joseph's col
lege, and twelve of them, the type of
genuine friends, sacrificed their skin
that Sister Callista's chance Of life
might be increased.
The intense suffering, caused by
twelve such operations, is over and the
period of convalescence has set in.
The patient is now able to take the air
daily. propped on pillows, and unless
something unforeseen develops no
more operations will be necessary, and
all that will remain will be to regain
the vitality upon which such heavy de-
mands have been made.
Skin grating is not common treat
ment. and on such scale as was
found necessary in the case Of Sister
Callista is quite unusual.
