Quite early I began to look about for such a material and
some method by which scars could be more or less obliterated.
Then it occurred to me to try celluloid. It seemed to me
that it was a harmless substance and not likely to set up
irritation ; in this subsequent experience has not disappointed
me. I have used plates of celluloid for replacing bone, and
solutions for filling cavities and raising deep cicatrices. have two solutions-one celluloid dissolved in acetone, the
other a secret preparation made originally for trade purposes,
its use being to make bad corks water-tight and air-tight.
It appeared to have a great future from a commercial point
of view, but the war came and spoilt its chance. This
I think the better of the two.
