Remarkable 1871 case of facial reconstruction in a boy
In 1871 a 12 year old boy named Tommy, suffering severe facial disease, was treated by Dr Gustavus Sabine at Bellevue. Over thirteen years surgeons replaced facial features using grafts to cheeks, lips, and nose area, including finger grafts and fish tissue, with staged operations. The patient endured pain, aided others, and left the hospital with a smooth face and no visible traces of prior injury.

The New Orleans Courier reports on the Mason Cotton Harvester as it undergoes field testing in Sumter and awaits revised belts and elevators. Mr Mason has built about six machines in three sizes, with early tests showing open cotton handling but gear and elevator issues needing refinement. A two-cylinder design is planned to improve picking efficiency to about seven eighths, while demonstrations are arranged for a World’s Exposition committee with National Cotton Planters Association leaders to evaluate the machine’s value before potential commercial production.
