be a great factor in encouraging and
inspiring the patient.
4 man with wounded hand may be
taught rug weaving jeweiry work, tel

exercises the muscles IN the fingers
and wrist. In this way the hand be-
comes healed thru exercise and when
the soldiers disabled Joints are made
flexible by this exercise ne has trade

ration of healing and educating is
known as occuyationaI therapy.

this hospital has been devised by or

If soldier has been wounded in
the ankle, he is put to work on foot
power machines. If his knee is stiff he
operates by fcot-power !athes, jig
saws. grindstonss, and any sort OF
treadle machine where his leg IS
forced into Strengthened position.
A man with a wounded shoulder VIII
be put to planning long boards, or to

he may work under an automoplie
lea ching up; he may strengthen ms
shoulder by reaching for threads IN

hoe, rake, pick fruit or any Work
which necessltates raising of the arm.
For each particular part OF the BODY

clllated to strengthen the disabled
Joints. For the. fingers alone over one
hundred specific movements are listed
with curative exercises and tools for
each movement.
