PHYSICIANS APPLAUD HIM. The First Operation Wi: Easy, but the Second W. Double Malformation. Dr. Adolph Lorenz, the great Vienna surgeon, continued his remarkable dem- onstrations in “dry” surgery at the New York Polyclinic, No. 218 East Thirty- fourth street, to-day. He operated on three little unfortunates before 300 ad- miring eurgeons, six of whom were ‘women. He arrived at the hospital about 10 o'clock in company with Drs. V. P. Gibney and Fred Muller. He was shown through the wards of the hospital, where , there were gathered twenty-five crippled children, He looked them over and choose three for his demonatrations be- fore the clinic. The lucky ones were Kittle Hughes, six years old, of No. 3 Thompson street; Nellie Venrose, nine years old, of No. % Park street, and| Theodore Steible, two and a halt yeara old. ‘The little Hughes child has a double, or bilateral, congenital dislocation of, the hip joint, which made her case the most diMlcult of the three. The Steible boy was the one chosen for the first operation. The operating table had been prepared by the house staff of surgeons, consisting of Drs. H. B. Jacobson, W. B. Moynan and F. B. Mitchell, At 11 o'clock everything was in real- ness and the little child was brought into the amphitheatre already under the Influence of ether. He was laid on the tabi Muller held his tiny shrivelled body, the great, strong, foreign doctor seized the fragile lex, which did not rest properly in the hip socket, and gave it a wrench, In gixty seconds it slipped into its place with a click.

She and her companton in misery ‘had sat out in the hall while the boy Was being operated on, their facoe pale with fright, and yet with eyes glistening with hope, They had been told thut the big man with the long beard was going to make them well and strong Ike other children, so that they, too, could run and play in the streets. ‘They had the faith of little children, and even the | eyes of the doctors, so used to such sights, reemed to fll somewhat as they looked at the white-faced, eager-eyed | youngsters, so anxious to euffer that they might be freed from thelr affiiction, | The Worst Case Here. ‘The second and last operation per- formed by Dr, Lorenz to-day was on six-year-old Kittle Hughes. This was the most difficult oase that has come under the hand of tho distingutshed surgeon since his visit to this city, for the patient was suffering from a double or bilateral dislocation through which oth of her hips were thrown out of thelr sockets. When the little girl was placed on 0 Operating table Dr, Lorenz ex- jplained thot both legs would have to be manipulated at the same time, and fils assistant, Dr. grasped one of th: slender little ankles and the giant Viennese the other. After ‘four minutes of tearing at the liga- ond and bending @ twisting the jecles, the right leg was pushed Into lace, the bone sinking into the socifet @ loud crack, “immediately the watching physicians “applauded loudly.

Then Dr. Lorenz worked for five min- es on the other little leg, at the end “of which he stopped and sald that-he fas afraid that the rim of the socket a8 too small. © Having rested for a few seconds, how- ver, he went at it again, and, grasp- “ing the leg just) below the knee seem- Angly pulled with all his strength, un- ‘Ul the veins stuck out on his niuscular c {Finally when every man or woman Hpreseat was either biting their lops or wtanding on their tip toes there was an- ether snap and the glant Austrian ealled out: “Done,” Then there was a Jong sigh of breathless satisfaction, fol- towed by “braves” from all side@ and * Falrly an Ex- tremely Difficult One, It Belng a was car-! exhausted, he did not take the third oatient he had selected.

Seen on the |street in his long, fur-lined overcoat, his white beard, almost patriarchal in length, his tall, broad-shouldered frame, his ruddy cheeks and his two keen, bright eyes in combination, he halts even the casual observer. Dr. Lorenz leaves on all observers the impression of a man of force—a man who has moved on and up through sheer physical, men- tal and nervous strencth. But this famous Viennese surgeon {8 best seen in the operating room. There his magnetism is felt, and his genius draws the applause even of the men of gcience. One of New York's greatest surgeons wald after witnensing the two operations at the Hospital for the Ruptured and Crippled: “Could we but have such men as he specializing in all branches of medic! and surgery our science would soon leap into the next century.” Despite knowledge of the wonderful advances that surgery has made in the last few years, few ever think of the operating room without a shrinking or a shudder. There is ever present the thought of the knife or the scalpel,” Of “dry” surgery we know little.

But, though at first glance this great display of musoular power and strength centres attention, one soon loses all sight or con- sideration of it as Dr, Lorenz begins work, He uses it so subtly then that he seems without tt. ‘These operating rooms are first scien- tifically clean, Not only do walls, floor \and ceiling glisten, speckless, but the lvery atmosphere {s artificially made ‘deadly to even the most fragilly harm- less germ. The slender little operating j table Is covered with snow-white linen, !and it is flanked on elther side with two jsmaller tables piled high with rolls of | ®auze bandages, These tables are tended by bright-eyed, but stern-faced, young women in the starched nurse's uniform.

LORENZ PRAISES OUR GIRLS’ HEALTH Says Outdoor Life Has Their Beauty and Attractiveness Than Anything Else. “American woman—ah, I admire her 80 much!" The words were spoken enthusiastic- ally and with fervor by Dr. Adolf Lorenz last evening as he conversed with an| Evening World reporter in the cafe of the Holland House, “The American woman—she ts beautl- ful, I admire her beauty,” he said, with a smile, “She pleases the eye.

The outdoor exercise she takes makes her a fine specimen physically; her car- riage (x excellent, her cheeks glow with health. It is this fine athletic training that makes of the American woman a ; Supertor race. “She is the best fitted woman of any country to become the mother of a fine race,” Viennese Need Exercine.
