New York, March 8. —Breathing through a brand new nose, little Hugh McAleenan, who lives with his par ents at No. 712 East One Hundred ana Thirty-eighth street, has begun life anew after suffering torture for years. The lad is eight years old and has had a deformed nose all his life. When he was born he could breathe through but one nostril, the left one being entirely closed and the entire nasal organ dwarfed in shape and dis torted. His parents were at a loss to know what was best to be done for him. When he grew older and his de formity grew more serious, his grow ing body requiring more inhalation and the nose failing to grow in pro portion to his general physique the boy suffered greatly. In his sleep he would almost strangle and his gasping for breath was pitiful. Recently he has had convulsions and his condition became serious. Doctors were called in and held a consultation. It was decided to perform an operation, the like of which is said to be entirely new in surgery—the boring of a new nostril and the building up of a *new nose. Dr. Bullman, of No. 248 West One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street, and Dr. Sheed-y, of the staff of the Post- Graduate hospital, did the operating. They cut open the left nostril and chiselled through a mass of bone to the base of the nose at the left eye and then establisned an opening through the natural nasal channel down to the throat. Then they folded back the skin,over tiny wooden splin ters and fashioned the nose on this frame-work in the shape it would be if normal. The boy can now breathe through both nostrils freely and the physicians are watering the case with great in terest. For Her Sisters’ Sake. Stendal, Ind., March 10. —Mrs. Sarah A.
