Hope For crippIes.

The intricate operation. winch m
wolves the substitution Of new bone in
gtiffened joints, dressing them with
live muscles and wiring them in place,
Is expected to make thousands of UNI
til now hopeless cripples whole again.
Numerous operations of the sort al
ready have been performed. and Ut.
Murphy is of the opinion that they
will become common.
DIR. Murphy held the railroad sur
geons spellbound while he gave them
the details of his discovery. His talk
was illustrated with photographs IL
Illustrative of the new method of treat
ing infiamed joints and of remarkable
cures DIR. Murphy has effected In
Joints that had been stiffened and use
less for as long as eighteen years.
In one case man who had been
suffering from stiff hip joint for that
length of time permitted DIR. Murphy
to hew out a new joint for him, and
recently he has been spending from
ten to twelve hours in the saddle on
. western cattle ranch.
Another Discovery Made.
Two of the most common causes OF
anchylOsis are said to be rheumatism
and la grippe, In many such cases
Dr. Murphy prevented the dread re-
suits and has been successful in re-
lieving the sufferers and giving them
new Joints after the old style treat
ment had failed to effect cure.
Another discovery Of perhaps sec
.ondary nature, but still important
from the point Of suffering humanity,
was given to the Erie surgeons when
DIR. Murphy. announced that Coles
fracture of the wrist, which most fire.
quently results in anchylosis or crook
edness, never should produce bad re-
suits. s } ~ r.
DIR. Murphy illustrated the proper
method of setting the Coles frac-
ture, which is totally different from
the method now in vogue. He made
the remarkable announcement that
after having such, a fracture set his
patients were told to! go home and
use their knife and fork as though
nothing had happened. AZ

Questions OF the right to claim dam

because OF smoke, clnders, dust, doors

preme Court of Appeals. This matter
has been OF late years very much in

this sort, in which the cause OF Of
tense was said to have come from a
roundhouse.
In the present instance the Issue is
before the highest State tribunal on
an appeal OF the Southern Railway
Company from decision Of the Cir
cult Court OF the city of Alexandria,
In which Alice McMenamin and her
husband. Richard McMenamin were
the complainants.
Mrs. McMenamin owns lot in tho
city. which is opposite an electric
plant, coal chute and stationary en-
fgines established by the railway. Her
home is situated on this lot. She
claims that the work OF nllinE the
engines with coal and of firing them
has caused the injury for which she
seeks damages. The smoke, clnders
SCOT impregnated with acid. poisonous
and disagreeable gases and noise are
said to emanate from this source. The
result is injury to furniture and cloth
