BOATSMAN'S BOY IS CURED
Another Remarkable Lorenz Opera
ton and Touching Story
Connected With It.

New York Sun Special Service.
has gone to TarrytoWn with Dr.. Newton
w. Shaffer to examine 6-year-old Alvin
Black, on whom he operated last Deem
Der.
The child is in the state hospital for
crippled children. He is the son of a
canal boatman and was suffering from
congenital dslocation of the hip.
DIR. Lorenz pronounced this one of the
most successful operations he had ever
performed.
The manner in which the case was first
brought to the doctors notice Is touch
ing story. Alvin's mother had nearly
given UP hope of her boys recovery,
when on reading what the Vienna sur
geoT had done for the Armour child she
wrote an appealing. letter to Miss Armour,
and sent a wooden doll, made by Alvin,
as a present for Lolita.
Mrs. Armour was much affected by the
mothers story and wrote to Dr. Shaffer
asking him to take DR.. Lorenz to larry
town. As result the poor boatrnan's son
will son be as lively as any of his play
mates.
The boys mother was present during
the operation to-day. When she was told
that the treatment was successful she
wept with JOY. But she was not satisfied
with thanking the DOCTOR She handed
him a ten-dollar bill and insisted on being
allowed to pay what she could.
DR.. Lorenz accepted the money with
thanks and then gave it to DR.. Shaffer to
be added to the hospital fund
