A WONDERFUL DOCTOR.
Atlanta Physician Tells About the Won
derful (Viennese Surgeon.
D, Hunter P. Cooper, one of the I side.

n,. Hunter P. Cooper, one Of the
mot prominent physicians Of Allan
:. h., Just returned from New York,
vbere, 81 on last Monday, he was pres
ont At chuio Of the world Famous
Or. Adolph 8. LoIeus, whose wonder
tnl M cures Of congenital dislooation of
,be bip have impressed the medical
fraternity and astpunded the laymen
the world over.
Dr. Cooper is very enthusiastic over
,be clinic, and says that DR.. Lorenz'
.ure is indeed one Of the most re-
m,,kable discoveries Of recent medical
history. Dr.. Lorens performed two
ooerations at his elinio on Monday,
IN the Forty-sesond street hospital, ON
The east side. While this disease,
cougenital dislocation Of the hip, is
not very common one, it is defor-
mity which, up to this time. medical
science has been unable to cure, and
for which remedy has not been found
which was even partially successful.
Dr.. Lorenz is professo. ;n the
medical department Of the University
Of Vienna, in Australia, and is one of
the most celebrated orthopoadio sur
eeons in the world. He is o man
about IS years Of age, tall, pleasant
faced, and with long, gray beard.
His cure for congenital dislocation
Of the hip made him famoue, and
when little Lolita Armour, the four
year.old daughter Of Phil D. Armour,
the multi-millionaire pork packer,
was given up as q hopeless case by the
American physician, Ir. Lorens ives
offered go, 1000 By Armour to come to
America and effect o cure.
He accepted the request, not for
the money consideration offered, but
that be might promulgate his method
Of curing this disease to the phs al
clans and surgeons Of America.
BE treated little Lolita Armour
with rare success, and the cure he
effected was remarked upon by all
American papers and medical journals
as the most remarkable knoHn in the
medical annals OF this country. Since
he treated this girl, he has been
travelling all over the larger cities Of
the north, giving clinics and treasiug
these congenital dislocations Of the
hip for sweet charity, teaching at the
same time, American doctors and sur
geons his famous treatment.
On last Monday. at the 42d street
hospital, in New York, before 800 OF
the most prominent physicians and
surgeons in the metropolis, DR.. Lorenz
gave clinic, during which he opera
ted upon two cases of congenital dis
location of the hip, with marked sue
cess in each instance. While Of course,
. cure has not been effected in either
case, as q treatment Of from eight
months to a year is necessary before a
permanent cure is effected, the opera
tion performed was an eminent sue
cess, and was greeted with bursts of
applause from the assembled physi.
clans.
DR.. Cooper, who was formerly on
the medical staff Of re hospital, was
zln New York at the time, and was es-
apecially invited to be present at the
3clnlc. He has just returned from
New Yok, and when seen this morn
a1ng by a representative of The Jour
5nai' he gave out the following inter
@VleW In regard to the wonderful trea.-
3nent Of the disease, as shown by DR..
jLorenz in his clinic:
Having formerly served on the
q sPtan OF the FOrty-second street hospi-
Ifal, vas given an especially good
antage point in the amphitheater in
e5'nloh DIR. Lorens performed these
a .saonderful operations. There were
fDout 300 prominent physicians pres
Sn'' and DR.. Lorenz' success was
feeted with unbounded oheefing by
fne physicians, who we're as eager as
q class of medical students watching
}heir frat clinic.
