Child tlero Under the Knife
Tho heroism of 8-year old Willie
llalnos, In climbing upon tho dissecting
la'olo nt tho Charity Hospital on Tuesday
h) have his own skin sllosd off and giaft.il
U|KIII bis little brother's scalded body,
brought moisture to tho eyes of every
surgeon and nurse who witnessed tho op-eration.
Willie a little shuvei, whose tether,
Albert Halucs, resides at ttoyersford,
had lawn told of the terrible sufferings,
prolonged for mouths, which Ills younger
brother Johnny was undergoing at the
hospital, lie hud beard that, as Johnny's
entire right side hail boon sklunod by
scalding, it might take more and younger
BUtlcle than their father could supply
from bis own body to be grafted on John-iiy'sinihealoilflesh.
So the child simply
and bravely said
"Well papa, I'm going to lot them slice
my skin off Ilrst for Johnny, and If I get
through with It all right, thou you may
take your tarn next. Hut we must got
Johnny well."
So Willie on Tuesday came to the hos-pital
with his father, and not long there-after
the little fellow plnckliy numbed
span the dissecting table, said 'I'm
ready,'' and closed hi*eye*.
ihe physicians, who wero also ready.
IhciUcI the lad, uud then Drs. Ki-en-burg
and l.undy washed and shnvod au
arm and leg, and with their keen Instru-ment*
cuiefully removed four pie
skin, each six Inches long and one mid a
half Inches wide.
The strips were laid on tho denuded
portions Of little Johnny's raw llmlie and
bandaged, und are now waiting for nature,
the healer, to do tho rest.
Mr. Balnea, th* father, was also pre-pared
at once to undergo tho operation
foi■ Johnny's sake: but tho littlo sufferor.s
body was not yet ready to receive further
grafts. The grafting opsxattsa must
necessarily bo a long und tedious one: but
it Is the only means of healing the scalded
lad.
