Tho report was adopted.
DIR. w. C. Jones' OF Walnut Springs, chief
surgeon OF the Texas Central railroad,
was absent and forwarded his popors on
oprains compared with fractures. HIS
paper was an exhaustive treatise OF the
subject and was interesting to the pro-
fesslon
DIR. Smith discussed the subject i'm
rromntu, agreeing with DR.. Jones. ana
added by giving the cases OF his obserya-
tlen.
DR.. Clay johnson, the secretary. re-
called two cases which came under his
observation, He stated that AL mcthcus
were unsatisfactory and tried the patience
OF the sufferer and taxed the ingenuity
of the surgeon.
Or. Lunn gave his ideas on the subject
and suggested Il line OF treatment for
spraln9.
Dr. Bailey suggested line OF treat
mcnt which had been used successfully oy
him.
Dr. Scott Endorsed the paper submitted
by DR., Jones' Ho believed that n the
patients could be made to realize that
sprans are Of more Importance than frac-
turos better results could be obtained
from the extreme treatment often used.
Or. Gardner made several suggestions,
DR.. Smith spoke again. Ho believed nom
the discussion that hts former remarks
had been misunderstood and he corrected
the impress sion.
At this point the association adjourned |
for dinner TO convene again at 2 o'clock.
