CUT HIS LIPS APART (CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER) Dr. Harry MILLER, assisted by the hospital staff, preformed a peculiar and successful operation upon the son of Frank BELTZ of Springfield Ohio. The child's mouth had grown almost entirely shut from the effects of concentrated lye which the little fellow had accidentally swallowed. The lips were first cut apart, when it was found that the mucous membrane on the inside of the lower lip had become attached to the gums. This had to be separated. The tongue was also found to be somewhat tied from long idleness. The operation in itself being now complete, the mucous membrane of the inside was pulled over and stitched to the skin on the outside, nine stitches being needed in the upper and 11 in the lower lip.
