We treat all physical deformities by means of our new and improved appli- ance and apparatus, perfected after many years of practical expericnee, en- ti gnoving the old torturous mode atment and thereby dispensing | 1 puin and danger to the patient. 1 eases of deformities, surgical appliances and apparatus will be fitted and perfectly adjusted. The patient can then return home and prosccute the treatment to a successful termination, under our directions. The surgical ap- pliances can bo worn by the most deli- cate, without pain or inconvenience, and ' patients need not be confined to their rooms. HIP-JOINT DISEASE. Tnflammation and disease of this, the largest and most important joint of the body, is fraught with danger and the most serious consequepces, It is the joint to which more force is applied with mo aried and extensive move- ments, with a closer contact and larger extent of friction surface when the parts are inflamed, and surrounded by more powerful, important and numerous mus- cles than any other join of the body. The disease is more prevalent among children and youths, yet adults are not infrequently ‘its ir Its common causes are external inju blows, falls or strains, yet oc onally arises with- out any apparent cause, induced, prob- ably, By a scrofulous or strumous d thesis. Inflammation of the synovial membran: nd articular cartilages of the hip joint, commencing in the usual subacute form, is so obscure in the early period of the disease that its true character is seldom ob- served, and properly understood by the inexperienced surgeon. It would, how- ever, require several pages of this journal to give in detail the various symptoms attending the different stag of this disease. We can, therefore, only mention briefly the more promi- | nent symptoms, It first manifests its v a feeling of uncasine; ue of the affected limb cise, with more or less pain in and around the knee joint, cspecial night; the cause of the pain being experienced 80 remote from the real point of attack is that the hip joint is deeply seated, and _the parts thus far affected are destitute of the nerves of sensution. As the dis- ease advances an apparent elongation of the limb is often, if not always, ob- Y {, caused by the inflamed and ned condition of the synovial membrane lining the socket and head of the thigh bone. The disease in its inflammatory state, insidiously pro- s until the entire stracture of the s involved, the deep- d nerves tion ave encrouched upon and the pain shifts to the hip joint, becom- ing severe, and at times inter 1 dis tinet limp is now observed, the slightest motion or weight borne upon the limb ine ses suffering, and the joint be- comes tender to il often rossure swollen, In its f 'n'}ul ravages destru ive uleeration invades membranes, cartil and ligaments, in and around t jointy matter forms, and in many cases sceks egress through the abscesses or openings formed on the while inother cases the matter D ake their ries or se of the bone now supervenes, causing softening and gradual decomposition and wasting away of the head of the ti which, in many cases, become and sometimes almost oblite powerful muscles of the hip are wi aw become atrophied and rigidly contricted, drawing the limb up and hip out of 'position, presenting an ap- purent dislocation, and the fearful de- struction is complete, and the poor, un- fortunate victims, if they have survived the shock to their systems from the long-continued sufferings, are left at death’s door, pale, haggard, and emaci- ated, with the leg deawn up, hip forced back and upward, mu. and flesh of limb wasted away,leaving it a deformed, useless and cumbersome appendage.
