'This," said Colonel Irish, sis not an
occasion for mourning, but for rejoic-

that through his genius he still lives"
Colonel Irish then applied a torch TO

CHILD'S new MOUTH
SURGICAL TRIUMPH
Flesh Grated From Abdomen
Forms Lips and Chin.

Baltimore. - After many weeks of
treatment the rebuilding of q little
girls chin and the restoration of her
mouth to normal proportions after they
had been terribly distorted by burns
have been completed at the Johns Hop
kins hospital here.
The child's clothing had taken fire
while she was playing about a gas
stove. and the flesh on her face was
scared to such an extent that when the
wound healed only a small hole was
left where the mouth had been. So
small was the opening that the little
finger could be inserted with difficulty.
Nothing was left of the chin but the
bone and a covering of SCARED flesh.
The child's mother offered all the
skin necessary for grating, but the
surgeon decided on another plan.
A large flap OF flesh was cut from the
child's abdomen, one side being left at
tached TO the body. Then a slit was
made In the arm OF the patient suffi-
ciently large to allow the insertion of
the raised end of the flesh of the abdo-
men. This was done to establish circu-
lation In the abdominal flesh.
After weeks that part of the flesh
attached to the abdomen was cut and
the child's arm with the flap of flesh
growing to 1t was raised and the part
that formerly had been Joined to the
abdomen was Joined to the lips and
chin from which the scared flesh had
been cut. For weeks blood flowed
from the child's arm into the bridge of
flesh from the abdomen and then into
the chin and lips.
When circulation had been establish
ed the child's arm was cut from her
chin and allowed to return to its nor
nal place.
The new flesh was then attached to
the chin. A small hole had been cut in
At to allow the child to be fed. Later
a mouth was cut In the mass of flesh
and then the chin was rounded out.
When the child was discharged from
the hospital she could eat, talk and
move her jaws as well as any Of her
companions. 1t is only upon close ex-
animation that the new chin can be
discovered.
