DR.. Adolph Lorenz, who is on the

DIR. and Mrs. Frederick H. Albee at
Colonia, n. j., to rest for an indefinite
period.
1t was announced that, due to the
condition of the surgeon, the clinics
which We're to have been held this
week at the Hospital for Joint Dis

probably will be postponed until he

insist tomorrow morning that he is
able to continue the clinics.
AT no time since he began examining
patients ten days ago has DR.. Lorenz
appeared so completely worn out as last
night. He performed one operation yes
terday afternoon in Kings County Hos
pital and at the end Of it he was hard
ly able to walk. Indeed. he performed
only part of the operation. which was
for club feet. He operated on one Of
the feet and turned the other one over
TO DIR. Franklin z. Van Wart, the chief
orthopedist at the hospital
Nervous indigestion continues to
trouble DIR. Lorenz. The food he has
been getting here is so much richer than
that TO which he has been accustomed
in Vienna for the last five years that
his stomach has been unable to adjust
itself. The climate also has had a de-

DIR. Lorenz refused to comment on
the action OF several Of the leading hos
ritals in Chicago in announcing that
he would not be welcome TO hold clinics
there. His secretary. DR.. Walter l,
Galland, said;
"His plans are upset now and he is
unable TO say whether the proposed visit
70 Chicago will be cancelled or, not.
Much depends on the state of his
health"
II was the original intention Of DR..
Lorenz TO go 10 Chicago just before
Christmas The statement OF the Chi
cago orthopedists said that DR.. Lorenz
came 10 this country either TO pay debt
OF gratitude ON the part OF Austria
OF TO reeoup his fortune, which was lost
during the war. In either case, they
said. his visit would work an injustice

tives. the statement said, would have
their hopes raised by the miracle man
reports and would necessarily be doomed

Or. Lorenz. however. has said that he
did not claim to be superior to American
orthopedic surgeons. but that he wanted
to give his skill to relieve whatever suf-
fcring he could.
Stephen Weinberg, who posed as DIR.

while as DIR. LorenZ's secretary, had
disappeare yesterday from the Murray

complaint has been lodged against Vein
