DISLOCATED HIP SET
DR.. Arons Set Mr.. Freemarls Hip
Perfectly With His Bare
Hands.
A Long Stride in Advance of Prof.
Lorenz Curing Cripples.

In all the clinics held by Professor
Lorenz in this country, the patients OPP
Grated on have all been children-and
most of them Of tender years. .t
In no instance has he ever attempted
to set the disoca ted hip Of an adult. This
is because Professor Lorenz's methods
are those of force, the employment of
great muscular strength to break down
the adhesions, timber up the joint, and
then, by main force, or sheer mule
strength, wrench and twich and work the
dislocated bone back into the socket
again with laborious effort while he
sweats profusely, the perspiration running
down his temples In streams, and after
a few such operations he becomes ex-
hausted, so state the dispatches; the big,
brawny, powerful man that he is phys
ically. The patient during all this time
is under the influence OF chlOrofOrm, and,
of course, is dead to the world so far
feeling Is concerned. The bone back into
the socket, he then applies a plaster cast
which holds the leg rigidly In place-this
is to be worn for several months
thereafter. when it is removed to see if
the hip Is still set, and to see If there is
any action left In the joint.
Well, this is one way Of doing 1t, a
pretty heroic way. 1t Is Professor Lo-
renz's way. ......
Certainly he would not have the strength
to pull, rotate, wrench, twist, work, Jerk
and f1eck the leg Of big, stout man,
whose hip was dislocated, until he got the
bone back into the socket.
This Is why he operates on children only.
Dr. Arons' methods Of setting a dislo-
Gated hip, holding a club foot or straight
ening a curved spine are as different from
those Of Professor Lorenz as daylight is
different from darkness. ..r...
DR.. Arons never uses force.
DR.. Arons never uses chlorOform.
DR.. Arons never uses a plaster cast
He gently aids nature at the right time
employing those persuasive methods that
properly harness the great forces Of ma
ture, and by their wise guidance he OBJ
tains the desired results with marvellous
SKILL that Is simply wonderful.
DR.. Arons methods are certainly a long
stride in advance Of those Of Professor
Lorenz in the cure of cripples.
He sets disocated hips Of adults, peo-
pie of advanced years, whose hips had
operates with the same ease upon them
as he does upon children.
He says that ones age, the length of
time crippled, or what caused 1t will not
prevent him from righting the wrong.
1t Is how you are crippled that he wants
to know.
Hudson, Wis, June 10th, 1908.
ITO all who are crippled:
Some eight years ago dslocated my
right hip, making my right leg about two
inches shorter that the sound one.
To-day DR.. Arons, the Bone Setter
set my hip for me perfectly, and easily
with his bare hands. without giving me
the least pain. In fact did not know
when it was done. But I do know that
my right leg is the same length as my
left one, and that do not limp now when
walk.

There is no doubt about it.
