between life and death. Their
suffering was abated by the use
of opium.
There was one chance in a
thousand for each Of the victims.
New skin had to be grated over
the burned surface.
A plea was made by the rela-
tlves of the sufferers and by the
hospital authorities for 10000
square inches of human skin.
In response to the appeal many
volunteers came forward offering
TO contribute part of their skin In

give up part of his body to save
a suffering brother is justly en-
TITLED to the highest honors OF
the Carnegie hero fund.
A majority of those who offer
ed themselves as a public sacrific
were saved, but others paid tn
fatal penalty.
The cause of humanity was tn
only appeal made to these volun

dence of unselfishness. Thes
men evidently thought that i
was better to give than to re
celve. So thought the men VIII
