They have transplanted on his upper lip strips of hair-bear-ing skin taken from his neck in order to form a moustache. The only indications of the injuries are a number of small scars on the lip and neck. The man, who has spent four in hospitals and undergone nearly forty operations, is little the worse :'n health.
