Almost as healthy as any other
youngster, with excellent control of
her limbs. Lolita Armour. the famous
little patient of DIR. Lorenz, has ar
rived at Augusta. Ga. in her private
car and will stay a month at Bon Air.
The child walks about the hotel but
Is not permitted to 90 out On the
grounds. says the Chicago American
1t Is just seven days more than four
months since DIR. Adolf Lorenz, head
of the department of orthopedic sur
gerry in the University of Vienna, op-
Grated upon the child in Chicago. at
the home of her father. j. Ogden Ar
mour. Upon completion of the opera
tion, at which the leading surgeons of
Chicago were present, DIR. Lorenz
said: 1T is finished. Six months
from now the child will be perfectly
healthy and able to play like other
children"
| From the very moment OF leaving
| the operation table little Lolita began
| to improve. In two weeks she could
| walk with the use of crutches, little
bit every day. Then she could walk
a little more with the crutches. and
still more, until now she has cast
aside the propers and walks without
any assistance. and in another month
may jump the rope and romp with
the healthiest of children.
| The cure of the child Is most re-
markabie. The entire world has been
watching the Developments since the
famous Prof. Lorenz was called into
the case. He came to America for the
one purpose. and received fee OF $780,
900 for himself and his assistant, DIR.
Frederick Mueller. When his work
was through for the Armours he made
a tour of America and performed
many similar operations for poor
children free of all charge, and then
sailed for Vienna.
The erstwhile lame child Is the heir
ess of $25.000,000. From her birth she
has been of weak vitality and life was
sustained by resort to an incubator
The operation performed by DIR. Lo-
REM was most simple. but has proved
very effective. AT birth the hips Of
the baby We're dislocated. They
did not fit into the cup-like socket of
the hip bone and instead the upper
end Of the femur was drawn down and
to the side. If she had been permitted
TO remain in such a condition walking
would never have been possible. The
Armours searched tho world for REM
edy willing to lay out goodly portion
OF their immense fortune for 1t.
When the fame OF DR.. Lorenz pene-
trated beyond the environs OF his la
boratory he Mas Immediately dis
patched for and told to name his own
price to come to Chicago and cure the
crippled child. The rest is history.
He came and conquered, and his pa
tient will grow into perfect woman
= hood knowing very little OF the infirmi
ties of her infancy. which interested
the entire lay and medical world and
brought upon DR.. Lorenz deathless
fame.
