So That They Might Again Take Up|rector of Military Orthopedics, and Their Responsibilities As Provid- ers for Wife and Family--Queen's Graduate Gives a Most Interesting Account, The following interesting article Was written for the Brookiyn, N.Y. Eagle by Lieut G. MH. V, Hum r, son of Lieat-Col. George Hunter, ot this City, serving overseas with the Koyal Army Meaical Corps. He gradu ated at Queen's, and is better known as Dr. "Harry" Hunter: "I nave tnoaght many times of writ ing to tell of the wonderful recon- structive work which is beng done mn England in the way of fitting the crip- pled soldiers to take up once more his responsibilities as a provider for his wife and family. It often hap- pens that it is a case of refitting hm father than fitting, as he is unable, owing to his disability, to take up his old occupation. The miner finds that with the loss of a hind or part of one he can no longer wield the pick and shovel, and he becomes a clerk, A cotton spinner for thé same reason become a salesman, It is With this as one of its prime objects that in- stitutions hike Alder Hey Military Orthopedic Hospital take up the work of caring dier. As early as 1915 orthopedists in England were few. .It is true there were a few 1 excellent work in this Among these was Dr. (now Sir) Rob- ert Jones, whose fame had already reacined America. Early in the war le was put in charge of a hospital at Liverpool by Sir Alfred Keogh, then director of medical services, and became the first military orthopedi hospital in the United Kingdom. He called to his aid almost immediately us old assistants, Captains Armour and McMurray, and together * they started 'work at Alder Hey Hospital, At that time orthopedic cases were ent direct to them, as they now are, but were sent from one hospital to another; and when the general sur- geon could do no more for them they were sent to Alder Hey as a sort of last resort. This was a grand oppor- tunity for the orthopedists, and they were not slow to take advantage of it These cases began to do better. Men with badly united fractures were sent out of the hospital with straight limbs; men with cruel deformities, the result of nerve injuries, had their nerves repaired and the deformities disappeared. After a time the War Office invited Sir Robert Jones >to visit the military hospitals in nearby cities to select suitable cases for treat- ment in his hospital. The work grew too large for the building more wards were added, but still the cases came, not from the hospitals in France, but from the ones at home. For this reason many deformities re- sulted which could have been pre- vented had the patients roceived the proper orthopedic treatment at the not DAVIES WEEK-END SPECIALS Creamery Butter (Whey) Bacon, sliced . . 48¢ Ib.

Soon he carried the good work to Scotland, and later to Ireland, atl 'now the has sixteen such institutions with approximately 23,000 beds. The establishment of so many spe- cial hospitals in such a short time had its difficulties. Sir Robert found thimsel short of trained men. Doc- tors were scarce in England about this time, surgeons especially so. Kitchener's army had made it neces- sary for many of the younger sur- Reons to go abroad. This did not make the work of Sir Robert any easier, but he persevered. and he and his assistants, working often late into the night, keep the good work going. Soon after this the United States entered the war, and Sir Robert in- vited Dr. Robert Osgoode, of Bos- ton, a well known American ortho- pedist, and a close personal friend, to send over some orthopedists from the United States." These men were to use their special training for the bene- fit of these poor unfortunate war cripples and to get in return very valuable war surgery experience, in for the returned sol-| Preparation for similar work for our|@ ¥ i i men later on. I was fortunate to he among the first to come over. The first group of Americans came from as far west They were dis- te different orthopedic or three to each. More until now about one hupdired American orthopedists are adimg excellent work in these hos- pitals. From time to time some are sent to France as they are needed, but younger surgeons fromthe United States are coming over to take their places and become familiar with the work. On admission, every patient with a deformity is photographed, X-rayed, and has his nerves tested electrically, besides having a very thorough his- tory taken of his case He 1s very carefully examined. If he has a bone injury he is properly splinted to enable the bone to unite in good po- sition If the bone refuses to unite, as often happens, a bone graft is used, which is a piecé of hore sawn from another bone, generally the shin, and inserted into two grooves cut in the ununited ends of the bone, thus | bridging aver the gap . If the bone has united in bad position it is some- times necessary to refracture it and place the fragments in good position and allow nature to do her work over again, Many deformities are the result of nerve injuries and simulate somewhat those deformities left by infantile paralysis. An injery to the external popliteal nerve in the leg will give a "drop foot," simliarly an injury to the musculo spiral nerve in the arm will i a "drop wrist." these deformities are encountered the nerve must be repaired, and then by proper splinting and massage the muscles regain their tone and the des formities disappear. For cases which are not in need of operative treatment, but who need! careful supervised exercise, a large gymnasium, under the direction of a traivied gymnast is kept busy daily. Other cases requiring hydrotherapeu- tic treatment receive hot or cold baths either spray, needle or plunge, while other cases are treated by what is] called the "whirlpool bath," 'where/ the hot air is passed through the wa- ter which is kept in motion, The need of massage is 'at once recognized by anyone at all familiar with these cases, and for this reason | a4 massage department, employing | forty trained masseurs and masseuses! is kept constantly at work As patients improve they are sent to the curative workshops and allow. ed to choose the work they like. The following * departments are working | now: Carpentry, shoemaking, black smithing, splint-making, carved wood work, leather embossing, typewriting and electrical work. and more depart- mets are being added as room per- mits. At present Alder Hey has about L500 patients, and a waiting list of several hundred. so that there is am- ple recom to expand. The staff is be- ing increased to about thirty men, and with the addition of the artificial limb department, where the limbless are to he reiitied. a further addition to the stail will have to be made. \ visit to a hospital such as this brings home to one the serious part of the war, and convinces one, if there was any doubt, that Sherman's de- scription of war was right. rt CANADA'S COAL SUPPLY. en Allotment of Anthracite From Penn- sylvania is Reduced.

HOLDING BACK ANY DISTURBING MEASURES A More Settled Feeling Is Pre- vailing in Ireland--Chiefs Make Good Impression. (Canadian Press Despatch) London, May 30.--With the recent changes in the Government in Ireland and the arrest of Sinn Fein leaders, the parliamentary correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says he under- stands the Bpitish Government con- siders it desirable to refrain from pressing forward at this time any- thing calculated to produce a disturb- ance. A more settled feeling prevails in Ireland and it is hoped bProvement will grow in every direc tion. The Irish Home Rule not expected to be ready for i tion for a few weeks and until then conscription will remain in a eyance, Lord French, the new lord Yieuten- ant, and Edward Shortt, new secre- tary, have made excellent impres- sions on both Nationalists and Sinn Feiners, "FLOATED" OYSTERS. -- Typhoid Germs Absorbed in the Vi- * cinity of Sewers, In the discussion on oysters as a cause of typhoid at the convention of the American Medical Association, Dr. Hugh S. Cumming, of the Public Health Service, said that last winter's epidemics in Pennsylvania, Hlinois and New York has been traced to one large shipper. a negro who ran a shucking house on Chesapeake Bay. "I want to say," he added. "to reas- sure the gentlemen who like oysters that I have found in literature no- where, either in this country or in cases reported abroad, typhoid fever due to oysters which came directly from the open ground; all the cases reported have come from floated 0ys- ters, from oysters in the immediate vicinity of sewers or from insanitary conditions in the shucking houses." The reason for floating oysters putting them to stand in water that is not so salt as that from which they were taken--is: When oysters are dredged the mud is stirred up and gets into their open shells, which ¢lose and retain the dirt; to cleanse themselves of the dirt they are left in fresh or brackish water. They absorb some of this water, and as a result look fatter than when dredged up, it being well known that oysters which grow in very salt wa- ter do not fatten, though they have the finest flavor.~Philadelphia Even. ing Ledger. 4 pain 3 i ---- ¥ Request omen be Added to Ottawn Police. i allow them to) Probs: Friday, fair and a little warmer. arison 7 day's results proved most ed our ready-to-wear These remarks by a wel service and quality goods at and it's for these reasons of For progressive, up-to-the- Goes along spiritedly with its host oF lendid values -- to- gratifying and many were the words of praise expressed by the many pleased customers who throng- departments from opening to closing time. l-known woman express very aptly the feeling we would have every Kingstonian feel towards this store "F minute merchandising, splendid reasonable prices, you predominate, perfect buying satisfaction that I have been a steadfast customer of yours for the past five years," -- These Bargains for Tomorrow on the Busy Main Floor IN THE SILK DEPT. 300 yards of genuine Shan-Tung silk; very smart for suits, skirts, r and sleeveless coats.
