HUMAN SKIN KEPT ALIVE
Discovery May Mean Much to
Medical Science.
fBy Telegraph to The Tribune.


Philadelphia, Feb. 15-Preserving hu-
man skin is A new triumph for medical
science which has been successfully
demonstrated at the Samaritan Hospital.
Thirty-two square inches Of skin were
taken from the body OF one patient in
the course Of an operation on February
=. Five days later the same skin was
grated on the arm of another patient.
1t is now eight days since the skin was
grated, and DIR. w. Wayne Babcock
head surgeon at the Samaritan Hospital
announces that the skin has grown into
the flesh perfectly.
Heretofore it has been thought neces-
sary to transfer the skin to the new body
the instant it was cut from the old body.
This made it necessary for one or more
healthy persons to have a big section OF
their epiderms cut off. II was often
difficult to obtain proper subjects
Now II will be possible for each hos
pital to keep supply OF skin on ice.
Whenever an amputation is performed,
or any other operation which requires
the removal Of the outer flesh. the
detached leg or arm will be skinned and
the epidermiS preserved
