.BL 0ODL. .ESS SURGERY.
Dir. Lorenz Hints at What It
May Accomplish for
Humanity.

CHICAGO. November 29.-(Special.)-.
Owing to demands upon his services, DR..
Lorenz, the celebrated surgeon who
cures hip disease without -.e knife, has
again postponed his departure.
II will not get away until Monday
night he said.
When presented with his degree last
night by the faculty of the Northwestern
University, DR.. sLorenz spoke this way of
his professional work.
Bloody surgery tried to correct the
deformed members by extirpating parts
of bones not in their proper places; blood
less surgery restores the bones to their
proper places If the bloodless method
unties swiftness and sureness it may be
called the superior of bloody surgery.
Plastic bloodless surgery regards human
tissue as plastic clay, .wt-4ch = remodeis.
Its direct function is to stretch short
ened and shrunken joints until they take
their natural condition.
Two examples may be cited: Congeni-
tai club-foot is a foot rolled into spiral.
so that the heel points outward anu the
toes inward; if the foot be unrolled and
can be held down by the weight of the
body, nature will healit. The curing of
coneenital disloca ton of the hip joint has
perhaps given to plastic bloodless sur
gerry its greatest trlmps. Wry neck,
IL treated in childhood, may be healed
completely Yet there are many problems
not yet solved by the new surgery. The
cure of lateral reformation of the spine if
ever possible, will be by plastic blood
less surgery. With the great Joseph
Lister. I believe the time may come when
a small instrument, the hypodermic sy-
ringe, viii be the only instrument used by
the surgeons. The nation that gives man
kind this boon, will become the first ma
ton of the earth.

important and interesting statement to
the representative of the Dispatch. He
said, in answer to a question tonight:
NO I do not think our system will be
a serious rival to either ocean or land
telegraphy. I would say that it would
eventually become an auxiliary to it.
and that the successful transaction OF
business over sea will tend to stimulate
cable business under the sea. 1t is posi-
BILE that the fact OF our systems being
cheaper may initiate to some extent

it will to any great degree. That is
