causing much pain. We had two phvsi,

opinion that 1t would be necessary to cut

peter than a partial cure, which would
leave the child crippled and possibly an
invalid. 1t Is hardly necessary to stata
IN view OF this fact, we were very reiuc-
tant to trust our boy to an exnerinnan+
wherein the element of danger wa. so
pronounced and the benefit so uncertain
we decided not to submit to 1t until every
other resource had failed, and the issue
had become one of life and death.
In Oakland we finally found a physician
ana surgeon OF renown who was willing
10 undertake the case on different lines
but was also skeptical in regard 70 the
results, and thought that, in the end. an
operation might be necessary in order
to save the boys life. His theory was to
keep Inflammation out of the hip joint.
to absorb the pus, and to build up tbe
bone, leaving time and nature to do the
rest. 1t appeared to US the most ason.

continued for several months. Then one
o! the Assesses began to heal and the
other to discharge less bone and pus So
snat. at the end Of ten months. the doctor
assured US that there was no further dam
ger and that, by using a brace, our boy
could be up and around at once He also
assured us that the Remaining abscess
would soon heal, and expressed his opin-
ION that. within one or two years at the
most, nature would restore our son to his
normal condition. After securing the
prace we returned to our home in San
Diego, ana. for short time, the child 8
condition seemed to be improved.
But the assesses never entirely healed,
and 1t soon beanie apparent that our time
and money had been thrown away. The

over two years. We then moved to San

care of one of the leading physicians of
that city. To do him simple Justice we
Will here state that he proved the most
satisfactory of any employed on the case
up to that time. He succeeded in heal

the boys health improved until he was
