CARED by ZealOts, the object of the So
ciety being to have certain surgical
operations performed which the par
ents of the boy refused to allow.
It was admitted that failure to per
form the operations would in no way
shorten the patients life nor seriously
interfere with his ability to earn
livelihood.
While the petitioners in support OF
the application referred to the num-
Der of successful oprations of this
kind that had been performed, Judge
Sulzberger emphasized the fact that
in spite of the great progress in medi
cal science, many so-called successful
operations are followed by the death
of the patients in a few days.
The petition set forth that the boy
is suffering from a defOrmity known as
"rieketts," which can be cured by an
operation, but that tle child's parents
refused to permit the operation, be
cause of their fear of a hospital
Their testimony was that Tony was
suffering from rachitis, Otherwis
known as bow-Iegs and knOck-knees
that the disease was durable by oper
alton upon the bones, and that the
operation had been extensively per
formed successfully; that it could b.
cured in NO other way; that if it was
not cured a man could get along in
life, but the deformity tended to in
crease, and that it interfered with a
thing that required standing or walk
ing. The disease did not, however, tend
to shorten life if not cured.
