SKIN Of HENS EGGS
SAVES HUMAN LIVES
Latest Discovery in Surgery
Is Regarded by Physicians
as Revolutionary.

PHILADELPHIA, December 22.-Dis-
covery by DR.. Max Staller, surgeon at
Mount Sinai Hospital Of this city, that
the white lining, or membrane, of egg
shells can be used with success as
substitute for human skin in grating
operations may revolutionize the methods
of treating burns and scalds.
Experiments have been made at the
hospital for more than three months
and in every case the victims of burns
have been benefited. In one case a
woman was so fearfully burned that
doctors believed she would not live
through the operation. The new treat
ment proved successful and she will soon
be able to leave the hospital.
The lining of egg shells is really the
skin Of embryonic chickens and contains
cells similar to the human skin. When
placed on a burned surface the cells null
tiply and the membrane becomes larger
and larger. until it joins with the other
pieces placed on the flesh at distances
of an eighth to a quarter OF an inch
apart.
In the course of weeks the surface is
covered with new skin.
May Save Many Lives.
1t has long been the custom in cases
of serious burns to graft skin from a
healthy person. In many cases 1t has
been impossible to find persons willing to
give their skin, and as result the pa
tients have died. If the new method is
adopted in general practice 1t is believed
many lives will be saved.
Dr. Staller will tell of his discovery
and the success of the treatment at
meeting of the southeast branch Of the
County Medical Society tonight. He
would not discuss the discovery today.
Other doctors at the hospital told Of the
treatment, and gave DR.. Staller all the
credit for the discovery.
A woman was taken to the hospital
three months ago suffering from burns
on the back, neck and arms. Skin
covery, but none volunteered in her be-
| half DR.. staller had been experimenting
with the egg membrane in minor cases,
and decided to try the treatment on the
woman as a last resort.
Soon Started to Grow.
The white lining on the inside of the
shell was carefully removed from sew
eral dozens Of eggs and cut into small
pieces. These were placed on the burned
surface and a wet dressing was applied.
| When, some time later. the dressing
was removed, 1t was found that most
of the pieces had started to grow. The
case was watched with interest as the
cells grew larger and the membrane
covered the entire surface.
| Now the woman has almost entirely
recovered and there are few scars. The
doctors say the new skin Is trthe
finer than the human skin, but appears
| to be strong and healthy.
| Another case treated was a boy, Jacob
Freshman, who was SO badly burned that
the muscles Of his legs were exposed. The
egg-shel membrane was grated on the
I surface and the boy is now in a fair way
to recovery.
