Gum to Restore Muscles of Jaw Major Unable to Open Mouth After Rifle "Backfires" Doctors Prescribe Chewing Guui. WaihiiiBton. Nov. 19. One of the most unusual treatments In the history of medical science is being adminis tered to Major Kaniee of the Thir tieth United States infantry, at the Walter Reed hospital here. Major Ramee recently was giving instruction at Fort Niagara, N. Y., in rifle practice to members of the in fantry team which won second hon ors in the national rifle shoot at Camp Perry, Ohio, when he sustained his injury. During one of the practice sessions, while he was demonstrating how it should be done, his rifle "back fired," tearing away a part of the flesh of his cheek between the eyes and the mouth and leaving severe powder burns. He was sent to the Walter Reed hospital here and underwent hasty re pairs, enabling him to leave the hos pital in time to direct the picked in fantry team in the national shoot in September. . f Following the national contests, in which members of Major Ramee's team conceded their defeat to be due ia the kci'idt'iit their Icadir luj suf fered. Major K autre returned to Wal ter Reed hospital for further treat ment. It was found neccktary to tut away part of the flesh. When the wound healed the major's jaws were drawn so taut that he could ttot open ins mount. Confronted by this puriling pre diriment, the surgeons who per foruied the operation solved the rroh lent by resourcefully prescribing the unusual treatment that Major Ramee is now undergoing. It is simply chew ng large masses of cum at intervals. Me crams five packages (consisting of live sticks in each package; of chew ing gum into his mouth it once ind chews vigorously every few hours. i tie idea, it was said at the hospital, is to make more elastic the drawn muscles, so that they will be restored to normal, enabling him to use his mouth unhampered.
