Went Surgeons knife-Cure
Expected.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3o.-An announ-
cement came from Beth Israel HOSPITAL
last night that the surgeon there had
performed an uncommon and delicate
weeks been completely paralyzed be-
low the waist as the result of a fall
from scaffold. 1t was discovered
that three of his vertebrR had been
fractured and that the fragments of
bone were pressing upon the nervous
fibres of the spinal cord. cutting off
all sensation and motor impulses from
the mans lower extremities The doc
tors exposed the spine and We're OBJ
lised to remove the greater part of
the three fractured bones.
The patient was Jacob Mehlman, so
years old, Russian, who lives at 351
South Third street, Brooklyn. Five
weeks ago when he was working on
building in Hoboken he fell several
stories to the ground. He was badly
hurt but did not lose consciousness.
When he was lifted up he was unable
to stand and had to be carried to his
home. The physicians who first ex-
amined the man We're unable to dis
cover that he had broken back nor
did the N-ray pictures which they took
show any such injury.
The neurologist at the Beth Israel
Hospital, where Mehlman was taken

SNEEzEfEST NOW
FORMALLY OPENED
Hav Fever Victims Hold a
Convention in a White
Mountain Resort.
National News Association

BETHLEHEM, n. H., Aug. 90
Sneezers, for whom sneezing is COM
mon interest, rounded up in this fam
Gus White Mountains resort today for
the annual meeting of the United
States Hay Fever Association. which
derives its name from the fact that all
it's members sneeze in June, July and
August and as much longer as they
are afflicted with hay fever outside
of the regular hay-fever season.
Hey fever is not a pleasant disease,
and 1t makes its victims suffer and de-
stroys their good temper. But it is
by far the best organized disease in
America. So far as is known the
jaundice sufferers have never held a
convention. and no one has ever called
ingrowing toe-nails. But for many
years the hay fever victims have gath
cred here each summer to discuss
| their common troubles. Every mem
Der of the association pays annual
dues of fifty cents. and this payment
entities him to receive all of the many
pamphlets and other forms of liter
ature that are issued each year on the
disease and methods for procuring re-
| lief.
Rev. Clayton E. Delamater of West
| Bridgewater, Mass, occupied the
chair at the opening of the convention
today. More than a score of States
were represented in the attendance
The initial session was given over to
symposium discussion in which vet
eran sneezers and physicians told their
associate sufferers of all the new dis
coveries in the line of remedies and
preventives. Tomorrow the members
Of less experience will be given an op-
portunity to tell what they have learn
ed about the ailment.

the three vertebrae which had suf-
fered from the accident he found the
plates of hone enclosing the spinal
cord on either side and connecting the
large mass of the vertehrae with the
processes at the back, splintered in
such way that they pressed in upon
the cord. 1t was necessary to remove
the greater part of the three bones
leaving only the columns in front OF
The spinal cord for support. During
the operation the cord itself was ex-
posed.
The first indication that the opera
ton had been successful was noticed
when the man began to recover from
the anaesthesia. His legs moved spas
medically and the organs which had
been paralyzed resumed their normal
functions. The physicians now be-
lieve that Mehlman Will recover and
that he will be able to walk.

Unless the Y. NJ, c. A. association

ing, which is valued at $250,000, will be
sold on a foreclosed mortgage. This
dire necessity has caused Secretary
Wright to make unusual efforts to raise
the money, Since ne came to Salt Lake

to reduce the debt Of the institution
greatly, but be has no funds available
with which to meet the mortgage,
