AT the dispensary the transplanting of
muscles is largely employed to win back
power TO limbs so long unusued that it
would be easy to regard them as useless.
Our theory is that Nature has been
generous" said a house physician 'She
has been tropical in the luXuriance of

given us more muscles than we need and
that 1t will do no harm and sometimes
will do great good to transplant pair OF
them. In the case Of infantile paralysis
the body is like that of rag doll The
muscles are flaccid. They must be set
TO work. Wherefore we have often drawn
pair of back leg muscles around to tho
front Leaving their attachment at the
source, the back OF the leg, we sew the
lower ends OF the muscles to the patella.
the knee cap. Useless at the back, these
muscles are made to work where activity
is most needed.
The case OF little Gertrude Allen, OF
Fort Lee. N. j., is an illustration Of how
the incurable disease, infantile PARALYSIS
was cured
At the age of one year the little one
was stricken with infantile paralysis,
which left her right leg completely
paraiyzed. When she was brought to the
hospital the right leg was absolutely linn
and she was unable to support any weight
on the diseased limb. Last Summer an
operation such as has been described was
performed. One of the healthy muscles
was transplanted to the diseased area.
AT the end Of the six weeks the child was
able to move her leg for the first time
since her illness. During the time she
was also treated In the clinic by means of
