Surgical Operation Of Lille
Lolita Armour Has Been Post
poned--S Simpler Method.

Chicago, Dec. e6-P. ID. ArmoVr's 4
year-old granddaughter, Lolita, the child
OF j. Ogden Armour. escaped passing her
Christmas on the surgeons table.
The operation. which 1T is hoped will
restore her health has been postponed IL
will probably be performed later in the
week. The parents of the little one
wanted her 70 spend happy Christmas.
The X-ray photographs clearly Indicate
the trouble. which is displacement of the
femur
There are two methods OF operation for
such an affiiction. both of which may be
tried before hope is abandoned that the
little heiress TO millions may some day
romp and play as other children do.
These methods are known respectively
as the bloodless and the knife opera uon'
and are thus described by DR. John Rid
Ion of Evanston, who Will have charge OF
the case:
I'm the bloodless method the femur Is
stretched until the ball Joint comes into
place with reference TO the thighbone.
The limb Is then bandaged and put I'm a
plaster cast and kept there, II the pain
b. not too great. for a period OF some
times six months.
y: Is. quite probable this method will
be tried first on the Armour child. IT
covered by Lorenz. famous specialist, or
Vienna, only Ave years ago.
1t Is less painful and ottener success
ful than the one In which the knife is
used.
I'm the latter method the flesh Is cut
away from the thigh and the tendons are
separated. The bone is then adjusted and
the cuts s'e sewed up. The limb. as in
tile tloodless method, is then put In
Ca-t
I'VE have every hope that the Lorenz
method Of operation win prove successful.
For months we have been studying the
case and eminent medical men of the
country have been consulted. X-fays
have disclosed the exact condition OF
the child's limbs.
I'm six months. believe. the child will
be walking.
