was not to be present at all. Mr..

LAST BITS OF SKIN ARE
GRATED ON SCALDED MAN

SAN RAFAEL. Aug. 17.-Fevered and
all but ready to die from the terrible
ordeal through which he has passed
and yet has retained a grip on life.
Philip Redmond, the fireman whose
skin was scalded off his legs and arms
in a railroad wreck at Novato, July 8,
today for the last time went through
the painful operation of having skin
grated on his pain racked body from
the healthy ones of his friends. Owing
to the critical illness of DR.. Jones, DIR.
III. o. Hewitt, w. ]. Wichman and j.
Kuser. assisted by Mrs. Laura Adams,
performed the skin grating operation.
Last Thursday the entire body of
the unfortunate fireman was covered
by the cuticle cut from 25 volunteers.
Some of the transferred skin. however,
did not keep healthy, so it was neces-
sary to remove the dead pieces and
replace them with new ones.
Since Redmond's body has again been
covered by the new skin, a great deal
of his nervousness has disappeared and
he has steadily regained his strength.
Those who gave cuticle to assist in
covering Redmonds body today were
the following members OF the brother
hood of locomotive engineers and fire.
men: L. McPeak, j. j. Honn. s. Duren,
Frank Wilds, Charles Orbell, C. u.
