REMARKABLE SURGERY.
Part of Face Shot Off but Was Restored
to Soldier.

London, Aug. 2S.--Some remarkable in
stances of surgical science have been
brought to light during the present war,
but the following story telling how a
horribly mutilated soldier was "recon-
structed from his own ruins" adds one
more miracle TO the list. A French news
paper correspondent was admitted to the
Rothschild hospital to see for himself
the miracle in question after the sur
geons had completed their work The
correspondent was shown a photograph
of man wounded in the French
trenches. 1t was terrible picture. The
face lacked the lower portion of the left
cheek, the chin had gone and also the
lips and nose.
While the correspondent was looking
at this appalling picture one of the hos
pital assistants made a sign to one of
the patients who was just going out to-
spend an afternoon at a picture show.
Here is our man." said the assist
ant.
The correspondent started uneompre-
hending, but the assistant added with a
smile, Eyes, ! assure you, this is the pa
tient whose photograph you have in your
hand; the man who was brought into
the hospital without his check, jaw, lips,
chin and nose"
The correspondent at first thought the
assistant has fooling him, but the ga
tient who was just going out bore few
signs of the dreadful wounds depicted in
the photograph. His right cheek was
the twin brother of his left cheek; he
had an excellent chin; lips that opened in
a genial smile, and nose of perfect con
tour. His face only bore the rapidly I
vanishing traces of some cuts and few
white marks occasioned ~ surgical sew ]
ing. The patient himself proceeded TO
confirm the assistants assertions, talking 1
in the slang of the French infantryman:
eyes it's myself; twasn't any good for
the Germans to spoil my portrait; the (
doctors trieked them after all. As YOU 4
see, he has manufactured for me a very
decent face. For myself, ! think he has
improved it. and believe they'll find me
more of knut when | get back into the
Then he lit a cigarette and
went of to see the show.
The surgeon had taken a portion Of the
PATIENTS back and used IL TO replace the
check With the skin Of the back he
fashioned the lips. Then he took por-

came from Norfolk, England, and were
planted last spring. Both measured
nine inches in circumference and the
larger one was l6 inches long.
Fred Kimball nearly lost his life at
Lyndonville one day last week when
working about pile of lumber. The
shed where he was employed was piled
full of boards, and he stood between
two of the high piles when the floor
beams gave way and the wood came
tumbling upon him. When enough had
been thrown over to allow access to
the place where he was, he was uncon-
scious and badly bruised and cut. For
several days he suffered internal hemor'
rhages, but will recover after some time.
Homer, son of William j. Wilson, then
of Hardwick, disappeared about IL years
ago, and no trace was found of him from
that time until few weeks ago, when
La Tena's circus showed in that place,
and neighbor of the family recognized
the lost youth in the horse tent. At
first he denied his identity, but later
admitted it, and few days after left
the show and returned to Hardwick,
where he has been visiting relatives.
His parents now live in Massachusetts,.
Young Wilson's wanderlust has taken
him through the West, to Europe twice
on cattleboats, and into the inner work

& Wheeler circus, and the La Tena pro-
duction He was in Hardwick three
years ago with the Downie & Wheeler
show, but no one knew him, and he did !
not make himself known.

the forehead he took the SKIN for the
nose and from the stomach the skin for
the chin. Finally, when the man was
practically refashioned and could be per-
mitted to look at his new face, the doctor
asked him if there was anything he re-
GREETED. The soldier replied, "Yes, my
moustache" "0h, don't you worry about
that" said the doctor and without even
applying an anaesthetic he took from
the hairy nape of the neck small strip
of skin and grifted it on the upper lip.
Il can't promise you" said the doctor,
"that you will have as victorious nous
taehe as that which you left in the
trenches, but in any case you won't be
