 Thiersch's Method of Skin-grafting. The part to be 

 grafted is made aseptic and then washed with a salt- 

 solution (6 : 1000). The granulations are removed 

 with a sharp curet ; the bleeding surface is covered 

 with protective and compressed, to check all bleeding. 

 From a portion of the arm or leg, free from fat and pre- 

 viously sterilized, broad strips of the upper layers of 

 the skin are removed by a to-and-fro movement of a 

 razor continually flooded with salt-solution. These 

 grafts are then placed upon the prepared surface, 

 covering it completely. Lattice-work protective strips 

 are applied, then a compress moist with salt-solution, 

 the whole being covered with protective and dry cot- 

 ton and bandaged. An antiseptic dressing should be 

 placed upon the surface from which the grafts were 

 removed.
