goes a Successful Operation.

La Four Raymond. son of DIR. J. [.
RAYMOND of 1884 Euclid avenue, has re-
covered the full use of his left hand
which was badly burned during his child
hood following a remarkable opera ton
which practically amounted to making his
hand over The operation was performed
bv Dr. II. NJ Dawborn of New York
Because of the scar from the burns the
fingers of the hand were contracted so
that il was of little use. In the opera
ton the scar was cut open and the hand
was placed under a strap of flesh loosened
from his back and kept there until the
flesh became engrafted on the hand The
strap of flesh was then severed from the
back and sewed at the edges of the hand
In this way new skin was formed 1t
is expected that in year the hand will
be entirely normal.
During the operation the hand was kept
strapped to the back for four weeks Prior
to the latest operation. six others had
been performed. with little result. Some
of the tendons had been destroyed
