Now, some years ago, DR.. Lorenz,
the great Austrian surgeon, came to
this country to operate upon ]. Ogden

joint. 1t fits like this. 1t goes down,
and it is held in place by the flesh
and hgaments. This is a ball-and-
socket. So is this. This is a hinge
joint. So is your knee. That's a COM

dislocation of the hip. DR.. Lorenz
came to this country to teach what
they call bloodless surgery whereby
he would slip the head of the femur
back in its original place and hold it
there until the muscles would knit and
the skin hold it in place.
So he came to operate on the little
girl. Armour gave him $4,000 to
make her roll hoop like other girls.
Then he took her back to Vienna
with retinue of servants to keep her
under his care during the period when
the musclese and ligaments were re-
uniting. OF course, when other moth
ers heard of the surgeon, they wanted
theirs to walk too, although they didn't
have $4,000 to give, and so they sent
their children and brought them to
Chicago to have DIR. Lorenz operate
on them, and he did, and did it free.
He taught other doctors in Chicago to
do 1t, and they were constantly work
ing to make the children walk.

Austria with the little Armour girl and
her retinue of servants. She was SO
disappointed.

the theological seminary. He was
born down in this town and knew this
woman. When he heard Of it, he said.

took him to the hospital and Doctor
Ochsner operated on the little fellow.
He put his leg in a plaster cast and
they kept him there. When he got
able to walk, my friend, DR.. McAtee
was going to take him back home, and
so he went to the hospital to get him.
The little boy was dressed and seated
on the edge of the bed. My friend said,
We'll, hello George! You are already
to go, | see you are dressed. Now
take a good look at this room and say
goodbye to these nurses who have
been so kind
The boy said to DR. McAtee, as the

The Doctor said, George, we will go

When they got to the depot, the boy
said, is the Doctor here that made me

When they got to this little Mis-

look into his face. She felt his leg
from the hip clear down to his foot
and she raised his foot and put it
down. She said, walk away" and
he came back hippity-hop, and she
felt his leg again. The tears trickled
down her cheeks and she said. !
