talked with Mrs. T. the other day, only
ten days afterP That the features of
his face are not only plainly distin-
guishable, but that the dep wounds
are filed up, the flesh fast healing
over with new white skin, that there
remains on his forehead but one place
not yet fully recovered, and that there

my hands (taken by colorcd photogra-
phy), succession of photos from the
time he entered until the day of which
I speak-in all, barely a month. It is
nothing short of a miracle. Moreover,
he told me with his own lips that he

You will have been asking all along,
"What is this wonderful thing9 Why

lions and discoveries? / suppose it is
because the cure is so very simple, and
because, too, the man has neither
wealth nor influence behind him. The
simplicity of it is such that even |

PLANTATION. The mixture is wax, par
atfn and resin. 1t is heated to 1870 de-
gress c., when it becomes like water and
of the color of honey. Drawn off from
the reservoir in which it is heated it is
ready for use. If you dip your fingers
into it at almost 100 degrees, as l did,
1t has only comfortable warmth, and
dries at once about your hand when
you withdraw it, encasing every little
fold or crease with an elastic covering
through which you can see. All air is
kept out and there is no moisture; and,

greatest causes of suffering to burned

the surgeon has named it) can be paint.
ed on with a brush. If it is, the liquid
is sprayed on with a small pump. The
member is then wrapped in cotton or
gauze to keep the waxy covering from
breaking, or, as in the case of faces,
with a mask of gauze only. In the be-
ginning the wax covering is removed
every twelve hours and a new one is
painted on. The removing of the wax
causes no pain. As the days go on the
wax is removed only once in twenty
four hours.

really all that produced such marvel
Gus, such miraculous results, the sur
geon replied: Mademoiselle, we do
nothing. Nature, left alone, does it ALL
1t is as if we covered the man as one
covers a plant in the conservatory, away
from all harmful influences, and there
the skin grows again untouched, as a
plant grows under the influence of the
sun. That is all But it has been
the work of a lifetime; research which
has taken all his private income, and
which has quite evidently left it's mark
on q deeply scanned and prematurely
old face. 1t seems so tragic that one
who has found out how to ease two of
the most terrible tortures-frozen limbs
and burns-should have received so
little recognition, so little help. One
ought to cry aloud his name from the
housetops He deserves the recogni
ton and the thanks due q great bene-
factor of the human race. But he
doesn't ask it. He is the most modest
of men. All he asks is to be allowed
to receive as many poor, suffering crea-
lures as possible. But he is very poor,
and so is his little annex. And that is
why |, among others who have seen
the results of his work, am going to try
to spread about the knowledge of his
work, hoping that he may some day
reap the benefit. Please help me do
this. If ever anyone deserves all
one can do for him, he does. The sights
that remain in my memory, inefface-
able, cry out for publication! But be-
cause l don't want it thought that
am writing in order to advertise any
remedy or scheme or man ! will give
you the surgeon s name and address in
a postscript. Then anyone WHO really
wishes to help can get it from you and
write him direct. If one can do moth
ing else, one can send crude paraffin,
which over here is very expensive, but
at home so cheap.-Boston Transcript.
