commonly, known as a stiff neck. Well,
1t was stiff, indeed, for she could not turn,
raise or move it. Her head was turned
completely around, and there it was, as
firm and fixed as If it had grown that
way. This was Miss McMurdy's condi-
tion when she applied to- Dr.. Arons for
help, only her condition was further COM
plicated, by a spinal curvature. A dislo-
Gated. neck is, as one can readily imagine,
a most critical condition. for there is a
complete displacement OF the bones Of
the neck, with the spinal cord running up
thru them. There IS naturally great ten
sion upon the spinal cord, by the bones
pulling it sideways In their displacement.
Miss McMurdy could hardly eat, sleep or
drink. The least jar or jolt to the head
or neck caused her almost unbearable
pain.
Now Miss McMurdy is almost completely
cured. Her head is In It's natural position
and the curvature is almost a thing OF the
past. Miss McMurdy walks everywhere
now without even the aid OF a friendly
cane, and she is the happiest little girl in
the state of Wisconsin
!. This is the second case Of dislocated
neck that has come under the supervision
of Dr. Arons' remarkable skill. The other
was that of John Moseler Of Brotherton,
Wis. He was cured six years ago.
The cases mentioned are but a few OF
the many Interesting ones to be found at
Rose Villa . To one interested In this
sort OF work there Is no more fruitful
place of observation in the country than
at the Bone Settlers beautiful Hudson
home.
Honest Principles.
Dr. Arons readily admits that there are
cripples beyond help. He does not claim
to be able to cure all Of them, but where
). he believes he cannot cure he invariably
tells. the patients so, for the doctor be
lieves there is nothing so cruel as set
ting up false hopes to the afflicted Every
