GUEST OF MEDICAL MEN
AT ST. LOUIS CLUB BANQUET.
From Seventh and Olive streets the trio
went to their hotel. where they dressed for
the dinner. The latter was given at the St.
Louis Club by the Reception Committee Of
local surgeons, headed by Doctor Steele and
Doctor h. n. Spencer. Present were many
OF the leading medical men OF the city.
Doctor Lorenz made a short address. stat
ing the objects Of his American tour, and
the nature OF the special treatment he used
for hip dislocations. B.ief complimentary
clans.
The number of patients to be operated on
at the clinic will not exceed ten. The first
and most essential tnstrumentS which
he will use are his hands,
Il heal by manual manipulation" said
he. "and with certain instruments manu-
factured for the purpose, and the object
of them is to accomplish only that for
which my physical strength is insufficient
"Congenital dislocation of the hip always
finds the ball of bone behind the socket.
The patient Is put under anesthetic. After
softening the muscles and iigaments, the
leg Is grasped firmly. the muscles stretched
so as to pull the ball downward. and the
latter is then forced forward. When the
ball is opposite the socket. proper manipu-
lation will cause 1t to slip in. plaster Of
paris cast is then placed upon the patient
until the soreness heals, and until the mus
cles and ligaments adjust themselves to the
new position.
YOUNGER PATIENTS PROVE
THE MOST SUCCESSFUL
Sometimes year or more is required be-
fore the patient Is completely well. The
trouble with older patients fs that the parts
affected are too much developed. and that
the socket fills up as the child grows older.
The best patients are between and s
years DID,"
Doctor Lorenz's idea as to the hip-joint
operation was not sporadic or evolved with
out thought. Formerly he used the knife
in the operation. as do other surgeons. In
all he performed $50 such operations with
the knife, and it was through complete IA
miliartty with the disease that the blood
less method was discovered
He made the first trial seven years ago In
Vienna. 1t was successful. Since that time
he has performed many Of the same kind.
He has kept no record OF the number. His
Instruments are useful az aids, but he can
operate without them. When in Salt Lake
City his trunks were late, as here. and he
conducted clinic without any Instruments
whatever His trunks had not reached this
city last night. and In the event that they
fail to come to-day. he VIII. nevertheless,
