PUT BRAIN OF CHILD INTO MAN’S HEAD
[Welland Telegraph, 2 April 1912]
Baltimore, Md., March 26-Extracting part of the brain of an ill man and replacing it with that taken from a still-born infant, was the operation recently performed at John Hopkins Hospital by Dr. Harvey Cushing. It is said to be the first operation of its kind ever performed and it is thought it will be successful, for the man is still living. The patient is William Buckner, a real estate dealer of Cincinnati, Ohio, 48 years old. Coming to the hospital on November 23, he was treated for several months before the operation was attempted.
He had suffered for some time from a peculiar affliction of the brain, which caused him to be continually drowsy.
