OPEpATIOT FOR A NEW SosE.-t nsla
came iAto the the theatre Of ST. rhom,a
Hospital, London, on the 9TH ult. tom N
dergo an operation which. though not H
tirely new in the annals OF surgery, nj II
never been performed, we believe, inn NJ
Borr,sh. The operation was that ON
artificial nose; and the person on who,t !
was performed wa, abont 81 years nf y. e
stout, of short stature, with broad ip,k
and the nose completely destroyed. N


man was placed on the table, Hat on


back, with the head little depressed, AZ
first step of the operation was to remo,1
the diseased parts, and pare the edge, lol


the old nnse; after this, a portion ofntg
mcnt, previously marked with thc ink


the left side of the forehead, ofan irrcgpd
shape, was detached from the surroundJ
skin, with the exception ofa small piece,
tween the eyebrows. The integumentv


then brought down over the face, in ID
situation OF his former nose, the point
which it was joined to the forehead oel
twisted. in order that the part which va 4
internal before its detachment might bsB
also in its new situation; the skin VIII
modelled to the shape of nos", and con


fined in its proper situation by five suurS
strips of adhesive plaster were placedlm.a


itudinaly on each side Of the nose, then i
compress of lint over each, and strlpds


adhesive plaster over them again; tsS


Iosils ofIint were introduced into the nsv
I ly-formed cavity for the nostrils; and, Iit|


ly. pressure, by means Of adhesive strap


was made nn the upper part OF the no's|
where the integument was twisted. IN
spot from which the skin was removed va
dressed with simple dressing and stiekin
,Iplaster, During the operation, the pa6eI
> was often obliged to raise himself fn|
! the table for the purpose of splitting ou't|
! blood which got into his mouth, a circaf
! stance which retarded ii a little. Thed
!. orator was Mr.. Travers; and the whosT|
2 completed in less than half an hour.
= The Lon,lon Courier of the 18th ofDf
8 ccnber states, that Mr.. Jukes ATTENDED
st. Thomas's Hospital on "Wednesday
vening with his elastic gum tube and dd
bic stop-oock syringe. At the couSai
of the lecture he presented himself
1.-THE class, and having drunk snI


quantity Of the solution of the eXfrac


|licorice with four tumbers of water
.intrnduccd the tube into his stomach, n
q Scott applied one of the stopcocks Of
tsyringe to the tube, and Immediately ypnH1
Jed out the whole of the liquid taken "
y the stomach. Thus the experiment cdI
: nlrtclv succeeded, to the great satsfact1
:, of Sir Ashley Cooper and the other 81
h tlemen present.
