An announcement came from Be.b
Israel Hospital last night that the surgeon,
there had performed an uncommon and
delicate operation on a man who had for
five weeks been completely paravzei
below the waist as the result Of a fail
from a scaffold. II was discovered tina,
three Of his vertebrH had been fractured
and that the fragments Of bone were
pressing upon the nervous fibres of tho
spinal cord, cutting OF all sensation and
motor impulses from the mans over
extremities. The doctors exposed tho
spine and we're obliged to remove thu
greater part Of the three fractured bones
The patient was Jacob Mehman, A
years old, a Russian. who lives at ss-
South Third street. Brooklyn Five
weeks ago when he was working on A
building in Hoboken he fell several stor,e,
TO the ground. He was badly hurt bu,
did not lose consciousness. When he
was lifted up he was unable to stand and
had TO be carried TO his home. The rhy.
sicians who first examined the man were
unable to discover that he had broken
back nor did the X-ray pictures which
they took show any such injury.
The neurologist at the Beth Israel hos.
pital. where Mehlman was taken O few
days ago. decided after he examined the
man that there was fracture Of the spine.
DR.. I. s. Hirsch. the radiographist. con.
firmed the diagnosis by number Of X.ray
pictures. II was then that DR.. Richard
Lewisohn. the attending surgeon at the
hospital. was asked to operate
When DR.. Lewisohn had uncovered the
three vertebre which had suffered from
the accident he found the plates Of bone
enclosing the spinal cord on either eide
and connecting the large mass Of the
vertebre with the processes at the back,
splintered in such way that they pressed
in upon the cord II was necessary TO
remove the greater part Of the three bones
leaving only the columns in front Of ths
spinal cord for support. During the
operation the cord itself was exposed
The first indication that the operation
had been successful was noticed when
the man began to recover from the an.
Rsthesia. His legs moved spasmodically
and the organs which had been paralysed
resumed their normal functions. The
physicians now believe that Mehlman will
recover and that he will be able to walk

on the ground that novel writing is
too easy to interest talented men,

play" he said, "and, really, anyone
with an eye for situations and stage
effects and a knowledge of stage
technic can write a play. The same
person could not probably write a
novel" There has been reason to
suspect that no very extraordinary
gifts were needed to write either the
average play or the average novel.
