"PETRIFTED" MAN LIVES.
Otto DeitZ, a Patient at Kansas City
Hospital.

Kansas City, March 3.-There is an
other case of a "petrified man. this
time at st. Mary's hospital. The pa
tent is Otto Deitz, "A years old, of
Clinton, Mo. He has been in the hos
pital a year.
Entering the sick room, a visitor
sees nothing peculiar about the still
form upon the bed. His face is full
and there is slight color in his cheeks.
His hair is neatly brushed and the
eyes are clear and smiling. But from
the shoulders down he practically is
'petrified.'' The joints have all grown
together. His frame is one solid bone.
The disease finally attacked the bones
of the face and his jaws gradually
closed until they were rigid. 1t was
necessary to extract the patients
teeth in order that he might eat. He
receives nothing but liquid food.
The trouble first started with an at
tack of inflammatory rheumatism
when the patient was only years old.
He gradually became worse until he
was forced to use crutches. He has
been in bed eight years.
Physicians call the disease septic
arthritis." There is no hope of re-
covery but he may live for years. He
has no pain and is able to talk in
whisper.
