LATEST FASHIONABLE AILMENT.
Auto. Fracture May be Expected Soon
In Norfolk.


Now that Norfolk is rapidly acquir-
ing the automobile fever, 1t Is well to
keep on the lookout for the latest NAL
ady that is sweeping over the country.
1t is the auto-fracture.
Auto-fracture is caused by the back
pective victim must first seize the
crank Of a big motor car and proceed
to crank. If the ignition Is imperfect
and the engine flies back on the re-
verse, the crank will fly back with
great force and hit the victim some
where on the forearm. Auto-fracture
results.
The styloid radius is a small spur
of bone that rises from the outside OF
the radius, the large bone of the fore
arm, and which has been conveniently
located for the fracture.
When the engine fires back, the
crank hits the rigid arm on the styloid,
to which is attached the muscles of
the thumb, and forces the thumb vic.
lently back Then you have the frac'
ture.
DR.. V. l.. Sheets. of the Willard
hospital, Chicago is the disCoverer OF
the new injury. He happened to have
two cases resulting from the same
cause, at first supposing that all that
was the matter was a sprained wrist
However, he made X-rays photographs
of the two forearms and found that
the injury to both men was identical
Since that time the doctor has had
three similar cases and in every one
the picture revealed the same things
At present he is compiling a pamphlet
| concerning the fracture.
