"Ambulatory Treatment" Permits

The first patient was young man,

ago, between the thigh and the knee.
His case served to allow DR.. j. d. Mat
thews, OF Detroit, to demonstrate the
Lorenz method OF "ambulatory treat
ment of fractures OF the leg" The
treatment consists of putting the
whole limb and pelvis In a plaster
cast, thus allowing the patient to move
about with the aid of crutches almost
within day or two after the dressing
takes place.

said DR.. Matthews, 'the muscles OF
the leg become immoblized, and in this
way the patient can walk about on
crutches without any danger of injur-

ment on the old plan OF keeping the
patient in bed with his leg in splints
and weighted down with sand bags for
weeks at time. We want the pa
tients TO get all the fresh air they
can, and the ability of the patient with
a broken leg TO get out and move
around day or two after the fracture
is set Is big advantage to him. The
