New York Medical men here and , abroad are awaiting with consider.Msj interest a rasjart from Herlin giving complete details of a most daring and unusual surgical operation performed there a few weeks ago. An idiot child, the sin-yearold daughter of Mra. Louis Wolff, a resident of Herlin. has been converted Into an intelligent being by the process of grafting part of the mother's thyroid gland upon the child's pancreas. Reduced to plainer language, this means that part of the mother's throat has been transferred by the grafting proceaa to a Kland. or tissue, lytn,; directly at the back of the stomach Hy this operation the dull. Inactive brain of little Lena Wolff has 1 awakened so that it Is now performing the duties for which It was Intended. This, in the history of medical

science, is without a parallel, not only because such an operat.on was never attempted before, but also because of its seeming vagueness The idea of grafting part of the throat of a mother to the pancreas gland of her child with the expectation of convert-

The operation took place in one of the large hospitals in Herlin. and by the grafting process one end of the mother's thyroid gland was released and stretched over to the exposed pancrease of her idiot daughter. For days neither motherr nor child was permitted to move. To insure a successful grafting operation thev

The doctors say the boy's brain is so peculiarly constructed that It prevents him from being good for more than an hour at a time. The head is of abnormal shape, the skull coming to a jutlnt. The ears are small and protruding, and the eyes are as sharp aa a ferret's. Tests made a few days ago showed that the boy had no sense of right or w rong. This is attributed to an ab- ; normal brain growth. As a result of the operation, which Includes tho cut- 1

reason Iena Wolff's brain was dull and inactive was because the blood was not feeding it as It should. One of the principal duties of the pancreas, situated Just behind tha stomach, Is to superintend the regular feeding of the brain with good blood, according to the theory of the German surgeon In the case of Lena Wet, he believed the pancreas was minus one very Important digestive essential, without which it could not do Ita work properly That very Important Msantlal bad to be supplied by gratlng a portion of a ductless gland from another living person The child's mother readily offered herself as a sacrifice.

from that which enters by their ar teries. "The most usually quoted example, however, of a gland which has both an external and an internal secretion is the pancreas A relation between diseases of the pancreas and diabetes has long been suspected, but Minkowski and Mehring first definitely showed that complete removal of the pancreas In the dosr, cat and pig Is followed by diabetes, having the usual symptoms of that disease in man That this Is caused by the absence of an internal secretion is proved by the fact that It does not occur if the gland be left In situ and the duct tied, nor does It occur If a portion of the pancreas be grafted in some situation remote from lbs normal osltion. How the Internal secretion of the pancreas normally prevents glycosuria is not clear. We can only say that It exerts some Influence upon the carbohydrate metabolism, either by favoring the formation of glycogen In the liver from the dextroso taken to H by the portal vein or by furthering the oxidation of dextrose In the tissues generally." Sight Restored to Child. Equally remarkable and Interesting Is the operation by which sight has been restored to the blind ryes of little Margaret Huber. aged ten years, of No. 524 East Eiehty-fourth street. New York city. She has become the subject of widespread Interest among opthalmologlsts by reason of her "pinhole camera" eyes. Ejnsj surgeons who have followed the case at the German Pollklinik declaro it to be, so far as their observations have gone, without an exact parallel. Nobody knows exactly how Margaret became blind. The liquid matter constituting the lens of the eyes became atrophied and was entirely absorbed, leaving the lens a thick apaque. fibrous cap. winch shut out every glimmer of light This was three years ago, when tho little girl was only seven.
