A REMARKABLE CASE SKIN-GRAFTING. OF Mr. Wm. Musser, of Bellefonte, Contributes Skin from his Arma for the Recovery of his Little Daag hter—A Successful Opera tion, During the .past month interesting acco unts appeared in all the daily pap- ere of a remarkable case of skin graft. ing, at a Chicago hospital, where a hun- dred members of the Masonic order volunteered to contribute small portions of their skin, in the hope of the recovery of an afllicted member of their order. Another similar operation occurred at Altoona, two weeks ago, where two hundred workmen in the car shops each allowed small portions of their skin to be cut off and placed upon the wound of an injured man, and the operation is sald to haye been successful, Both cases created much interest and com. ment even among citizens of this com. munity, yet little were they aware that a more remarkable operation had been performed in our own town and all the grafts were taken from the arms of a heroic and self-sacrifiicing father, who hoped to see his daughter | health, On Monday evening the editor paid a visit to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Musser, who reside on this place, and there found little Mary, their bright and interesting daughter { who has undergone untold pain and sufferings, for the past ntl seven Im and is the object of a remarkable sur gical operation To begin we will first br iefly incidents to her aMiction.

Mr. Musser is a stout, robust, healthy man and is employed in Ed Rhoads’ coal yards and by his daily exercise was a good subject for the operation. The doctor took the grafts from the arm. He first thoroughly washed the sorface with carbolic acid water, the best kind of a disinfectant which destroys all kinds from his body hope of seeing the child restored of germs or foreign matter that might The surface was then rously rubbed to improve the circu. lation. With a small pair of forceps he would grasp the skin and draw it up and with a sharp pair of scissors nip off a pateh about the size of a pea. This would then be forced down into the raw flesh on the child's back so that it might get nourishment and grow. In this way he first removed about ten patches and transplanted them an experiment. The result was carefully noted and to his gratifieation nearly every one grew and slowly enlarged, pro. ducing new and healthy skin. FOUR OPERATIONS, cause trouble Yigo as Four such operations in all have been performed during the past eight weeks and all the grafts were taken from Mr, Mussor's arms, He rolled up his sleeve and exhibited to the writer the mutilat. ed surface.

A PATIENT SUFFERER, When the writer entered the invalid's room, little Mary up smile upon her face as if to welcome her inquisitive caller, She was lying face downona cot and for the last seven months she had to lie in that one position, on her breast, as the back was a mass of sores and ulcers, Her many sympathizing playmates keep her company much of the time and when alone she is industrious; she has a looked with a and during the past few months she made an exceedingly beautiful silk quilt, composed of patches contributed by her friends. Considering that but ten years of age, an invalid and compeil. ed to lie in that one position forso mn Any she is long days, weeks and even months, her work is all the wore remarkable, She has been compelled to lay as her needle work as it overtaxed her en ergies and affected her nervous system.
