Prints of Scars

Abstract

THE accompanying print is sent with a two-fold object. First, for its intrinsic interest in showing how thoroughly and definitely a grafted slice of skin and flesh has established itself under its new conditions, retaining its original characteristics unchanged during thirty years. Secondly, because of its probable interest to surgeons in illustrating the ease and completeness with which a record can be kept of the process and results of the cicatrisation of wounds.
