The result of the skin-grafting was not given.
Powell of Chicago gives an account of a girl of nineteen who lost her scalp while working in the Elgin Watch Factory at Elgin, Illinois.

The wound extended across the forehead above the eyebrows, but the ears were untouched.

Skin-grafting was tried in this case but with no result, and the woman afterward lost an eye by exposure, from retraction of the eyelid.
In some cases extensive wounds of the scalp heal without artificial aid by simply cicatrizing over.

Gross mentions such a case in a young lady, who, in 1869, lost her scalp in a factory.

There is reported an account of a conductor on the Union Pacific Railroad, who, near Cheyenne, in 1869, was scalped by Sioux Indians.
