every one of the few houses was crowded,

On the first report of the disaster the

DR. Lewis A. Sayrc, the inventor of the
plaster jacket, is a large man, with an inn
mensely strong face. DR.. Sayre turned his
attention carly in life to the diseases Of the
spine, and sought in many methods to dis
cover some one by which he might success
fully treat the curvat'res. Every phys-
clan now knows of his great treatment and
not few apply it. But when Dr. Sayre
first proposed it there was the usual long
series Of objections and the common list Of
re4snns why it would not and never could
work.
Briefly described, the treatment for dis
eases Of the spine which DR.. Sayrc invented,
and which has made his name famous
throughout the medical world, is this: BY
system Of loops and pulleys the patient is
suspended by the armpits and head until
tho weight of the legs stretches the back to
the point of comfort" 70 hold the e1-
tension thus gained DR. Sayrc applied the
plaster Of Paris bandage wound round un-
til it formed a jacket stiff enough to sup
port the back. AS soon as the spine had
taken the new shape the operation was re-
peated, until in the end cure was made.

how little they knew of this man aside

markable for his great power of diagnosis,
