BRING DOGS TO LIFE

WONDERFUL SURGICAL PEATS PERFORMED AT CONGREBS. Cat Made to Live Without Head, Man’s Tongue Cut Out, Nose Manufactured From Finger. ’> New York, Nov. 16. —Cutting oi]£ a man’s tongue; making a nose out 6f a finger; saving one leg with the bone of another; killing dogs—apparently—and bringing them back to life; making a cat live without Its head — these were some of the surgical feats performed at the various hospitals for the edification of the 2,000 surgeons attending the clinical congress of Burgeons now In session here.

At the Presbyterian hospital Dr. Clarence A. McWilliams exhibited a man whose nose had been destroyed by an accident. Doctor McWilliams had first removed the nail from the ring finger of the patient’B left hand. Then he had the patient put up his finger to his nose and lay it along the length of It. Then removing the skin of the finger that lay next to the face he sewed It to the face, flesh, bone and all. The arm was then set in a plaster of paris cast so that It would not move. ALthe end of 21 days all sensation, Including pain, had left the arm. The doctor amputated the finger at the place where it Joins the hand—and the patient had a new nose. The second and third joint of the finger formed the bridge of the nose, while the first joint, which was bent backward toward the face, formed the bony underpart of the nose between the nostrils. The operation was declared a success. At the Rockefeller institute Dr. John Merlin etherized a cat, severed the windpipe and pumped air artificially Into the lungs Then the backbone was slightly compressed and soon after severed from all connection with the brain. After that the head was cut off, but the heart and lungs kept on functioning as if the cat were only asleep with all Its personality intact.
