CANNOT MAKE EAR DRUMS.

Doubt Thrown on Story that One Is Being Made for Miss Rockefeller. The report that Viennese aurists are making new ear drums to order for Miss Alta Rockefeller has attracted a great

deal of attention. Physicians on this side of the water are almost unanimous in declaring that it would ft An. *w» mm * be a physical Impossibility. A St. Louis doctor stated to the Chronicle that it would be impossible for the Vienna specialist to graft a new

natural drum in his patient’s ear. It is extremely improbable that new bones or substitutes can be grafted in the tympanum, and the construction of a new outer wall or membrane is an utter impossibility.
