JAW OF SILVER WIRE.
SURGEONS SUGGESTION
Specialist Has Hope of Being Able
to Build Up New Bone After
Operahon.

Philadelphia. Nov 2S.-Surgeons and
medical students attending Jefferson Med
ical College and Hospital yesterday dis
cUssed with great interest a remarkable
operation suggested by a leading surgeon
at clinic on Wednesday, in which an
artificial jaw. made of silver wire, shall
take the place Of one whose entire re-
mOval is made necessary because Of IN
fection or death Of the bone
Removal OF the jaw sometimes Is
necessary If the life OF patient IS to be
saved. 1t always results in great dis
fgUrement. as well as serious interfer-
ence with swallowing and speech. A sur
geon attached to the hospital said the
suggestion Of using silver wire for buIl1-
ing up an artificial jaw was an idea
worth the most serious attention. He
added:
Under certain circumstances we can
remove the jaw but leave the periOsteum
and muscle attachments. This new idea
IS then to take silver wire, twist II into
the proper shape, and cover It with the
periosteum- Under good conditions.
have no doubt that there soon will begin
process of bone growth from the peri
osteum. which will form over the silver
wire model. which will act as a scaffoId
for the new bone growth. After a time
We can begin to remove small sections OF
the silver wire as the new jaw growS
stronger. The regeneration taking place
from the periosteum should, according to
all surgeons can surmise, form quite o
good new jaw" g..

Supreme Court Says.

In a case coming to the Supreme Court
from the Sixth Circuit Court Of Appeals,
the Supreme Court held yesterday with
that court that 1t is not only necessary

damage. In this case the complainant
in an action for damages tried to recover
damages based upon the ''physical suf-
ferinG'' he had endured. The highest
court holds with the court below that the
complainant should have amended his
declaration as he was directed to do TO

Bay, one Of the finest harbors on the

Thomas NJ Rowlette, lawyer, at 6 Mas

The land involved, including nearly all
Lower California from the Cordilleras to
the Gulf, is worth millions-just how
many is mostly guesswork. 1t runs north
and south 400 miles and is from ten to
fourteen miles wide. James Edwards,
Mrs. Balls father, bought it in 1903 for
