ity To another human being by taking
advantage OF the other mans cupidity
and lust for money. A man who lacks
an ear Is justified In trying 10 rem.
edy the defect with India Rubber or
Gutta Percha, but this thing OF buy
Ing from another man the ears God
gave him indicates low mental cal
hire. About 10 or 10 years ago the pa-
pers gave much space TO the case OF
ii millionaire who bought an ear, and
the doctors cut the ear from the bally
working classes and grated It on to
high society, dontcherknow. The opera
ton took several days, during which
time the two men lay In the hospital
together connected by the ear. II
man Is any sort Of man and Is nor
maly equipped in the upper story, the
lack of an ear should not lessen his
chances with the girls. He can take
up art or music and wear his hair
long like Padcrewski and his defect
wont be noticed. But this thing Of pur-
chasing portions of other peoples anat-
omy seems TO me to hold great posi-
bilities During the war great progress
was made In what * called plastic sur
gerry. Men who had large portions Of
their faces shot away were made
whole again by the skillf(Il transfer

The doctor would often pause In the
middle OF his work and inquire. "What
kind Of nose do you prefer, Roman,
Acquiline or Snub." AS surgical science
progresses, plastic surgery will not
stop at jaws and ears, hut will deal
with the more vital organs Of the body,
not only transferring to other parts
Of the same person hut to other per-
sons alsO. II Is interesting to speculate
on the future of this new branch Of
science. Experiments have shown that
tissue taken from the body and placed
In n suitable solution will continue TO
live and grow. Hence, the preservation
OF detached organs and spare parts OF
the human anatory will become spe-
cialized branch Of medical science The
buying and selling OF ears, noses,
glands, cuticle, muscles, etc, will be-
come a common occurrence. When II |
man goes broke he can sell his kid |
neys and reimburse himself. The kid |
neys will then be Kept in stock until
n millionaire desiring fresh healthy |
pair Of kidneys happens to -ome along,
and the surgeon will deity remove the
old kidneys, insert the new ones with
a shoe horn, give him a rebate ON his
old kidneys il they are not too far
gone, then give him free air crank
him up and bid him goodbye.
There is sufficient evidence to show
that people are prepared to go much
further than merely changing their
style OF clothing in order to keep up
with the fashions. They pinch them
selves at the waste, cramp their feet |
In shoes too small, have permanent |
waves put in their lair with machin |

have their noses broken and reset
again, have their little toes cut off. and
