Iowa City. June 30.-Al records Of
surgical science in Iowa We're shattered
here today, when Iowa City surgeons
created a new elbow joint for George
Verter. aged 81, resident of oxford.
At Mercy hospital, Drs. Donovan,
Lampe and Peters performed the oper-
alton. the first OF it's kind in Iowa, and
one of the very few in the history Of
surgery in the country.
Mr.. Yenter fractured his right elbow
seven years ago by fall. Ever since
it has been absolutely stiff and de-
formed. Three months ago. he fractur-
ed it again, when a horse jerked him,
when he was leading the animal by Il
rope. This increased the deformity.
Since then, the arm has been in a
plaster cast.
The trio Of doctors created a new
elbow joint, and it is as movable as
any given by nature. All deformity Is
eliminated. This was the modus oper-
andi The old, diseased joint was re-
moved On the ends of the bones new
surfaces were sculptured, similar to
the normal. Tissues from outside the
joint, muscle. fascia. ligaments and
part of the joint capsule itself, were
transplanted to the ends of the bones.
This was done to make new coverings
for them. A new capsule for the joint
was also constructed. New tendons
were made and attached to the bones.
to bring about the proper leverage, and
now, a few hours after the operation,
the elbow works as though heaven had
bestowed it upon MIR. Yenter He seems
q new man.

Delbert Chute and Fred Kirchner are

lieved that their unpreparedness for

epidemic among them. Hodge was the
first to become ill and he was removed
from the boat to an ambulance and
then to st. Luke's as soon as the boat

or run our business on promises.
We will continue to sell good
flour and feed as low as we can,

cash, or on 80 days to those who
can and uiH pay at the end of that
time. Ii you cannot pay in 80 days
do not ask for credit, as we will
