HEALER AND TEACHER
i 7
Intimate Sketch of World's Greatesl
Orthopedist.
NOT RECOGNIZED BY MEDICAL MEN
dame to America to Help Pay Debt of
Gratitude for Asiistance to Starving
Children? Thousands Have Been
Flocking to Him for Help.
. Everyone who has seen Dr. Adolph
Lorenz. the Vienna surgeon, at work
in the hospitals of New York is conscious
that while he is engaged in examining
and treating hundreds of
children who arc brought to see him.
he is a"so doing a great work of teaching.
ji, *
Physicians of the hospital", outside
pliyslciana and the young internes follow
him from cot to cot and lis?en
eafcerly to all his diagnoses ai.d to his
Informal comments on the cases, and
, on life in general. The "professor," as
many of the physicians call him, especially
those who knew him on his
former visit ou who have studied with
him in Vienna, Is an enthusiast and
his enthusiasm is highly contagious.
Cynical young internes in the early
twenties who are pretty sure that they
know just about all there is to knowin
medicine and who may regard Dr.
, Lorenz when he enters a ward with a
rather, unawakened curiosity, bit by
bit begin to brighten as he talks and
examines the children, pointing out
something that might be done here,
something that might be done thei^e
to make a little cripple walk better
to relieve pain or to straighten a small
t wis tad body. Eyes grow eager, faces
become alert. The youthful prctensfc
of stolidity and over sophistication is
swept aside.
His Influence Great.
Qnce more the miracle of the groat
teacher has been wrought. Uncon'"Bdously
the men of his own profession,
steeped often in the discouragement
of their contact with incurable
cases,.' betsome imbued with Dr. Ix>rena's'own
indomitable faith.
"While there's life there's hope''
seems *o be the message that they are
all reoeivlng from their encounters
tvilh Dr. jLorenz.
Viennese physician is a striking and
impressive figure as lie enters the hospital
wag<L Toll' and square, with
white hair and beard, he stands out
among1 men, and biings quickly to the
mlud the'thought that age may be far
rtore beautiful than youth. Chiefly
this impression is due to the eager
.r-j? ,
expression of his fine, intellectual face.
But he I? also a handsome man with
fine aqiitlfne features, a clean, fresh
* completion and bright, blue eyes. The
children !h the hospitals are told, by
' the doctors who know him to look for
the big man with the beard, and they
are never. disappointed at the appea"ance
of the big physician for'wh03C
dommr tbpy have waited.
doctor enters the hospital doors
at*? rapid gait like a. man who has no
time ho t?afetp._ Counting to the floor
where he is to see the children he
fides Into the first ward prepared
ta receive him and begins to take off
hislhat and coat. Unless there is some
on hand to stop him he is quite as
likely to deposit tljese outer garments
on- the floor, from which a reverent
nurse or interne rpscues them.
? Then over to tjK> first surgical cot
where a child Ilea waiting, a crippled
' *" *" " oiiMrinol mhft for in

apectlon. The youngster usually holds
in his hand the card which gives such
information as the hospital authorities
have gathered as to his condition, and
X)r, Lorcnz looks this over hastily.
Feels His Way to Knowledge.
It ,is then a question of legs and
arm's. With wonderfully expert manipulation
of tfie faulty joints and
limbs Dr. I .ore n a feels his way to a
first tyand knowledge of the case.
Suddenly up goes a leg, tossed so swiftly
by the doctor that, the foot of the
chihl Is just as likely as not to strike
lightly up into the face of a bystander.
. "Give me, give nte." murmurs the
Doctor to the child, and tne child invariably
understands somehow , that
phrase, expressed in Dr. Lorenz's
slightly foreign English, means that
bo i? to relax as much as jiossible and
let the physician do what he will with
.the .crippled limb.
v Teaching goes 0.1 In conjunction
vnith the examinations. Perhaps there
may be thirty or forty children lying
out' on. the surgical cot waiting examination.
Dr. Lorenz finds one of them
suffering from a difficulty which involves
the big bone of the log. 'A
blackboard is sent for. On this, dra'wittg.
rapidly, he shows the bone and its
joint and eagerly describes the condition
and method of cure in the''manner
employed in medical clinics generally..
?, But his illustration goes beyond the
usttal. Suddenly a physician standing
neajc ^vho has shown muclr' interest in
the demonstration finds his forefinger
seized ujxm and wagged back and forth
and around and about hv Dr. Lorenz.
For the moment the forefinger is playing
the role of the foi^ur and Dr. Lorenz
is showing: the roomful or students
Just how the le^ moves. So enthusiastic
is he that few present sense the
amusing character of the demonstration.
Everybody by this time is too
much in earnest to be diverted ficm
the main issue by amusing details.
? After it is over one may see even
' the proud and sophisticated young internes
talking eagerly to each other
about the upper leg joint and the operation,
described and wagging their
fingers to and fro and around and
sibout in illustration with an cnthu
fliasm which they would have been
ashamed to display previous -to Dr.
Dorenz's visit.
By Way of Illustration.
Sometimes the doctor, not seeing a
finger nearby, seizes upon the head of
j J v 1
one of the young doctors add wags this
to and fro upon the r eek. Quite gracefury
the person to whom the head be^
longs submits to the demonstration,
rfter which everyt?ody present march- i
ce back to the next cot where another i
patient is waiting to be examined, Dr.l
| Lorenz in the lead.
Despite his weakness from his |
rightful overwork since arriving in
this country Dr. Lorenz shows a -sublime
indifference to any efforts to relieve
the strain of the endless examinations,
which he is giving in the hospitals.
At the Kings County Hospital.'whore
he examined sixty children
several days ago. Dr. Mortimer Jones,
superintendent of the hospital and Dr.
Thomas D. Price, assistant superintendent,
sought to relieve the strain
and sav? Dr. Lorenz from the experiences
of the morning, wher he had
j fainted three times during cxaminn[
tions, by having him sit down and rest
n lit tie at intervals and drink a glass
a?* o nun nf ton
Patiently Dr. Price stood yt his elbow
with a glass of ice water, waiting
for the moment whon Dr. Lorenz
would be willing to pause from his
labors long enough to take it.
Finally Dr. Lorenz look nl around,
saw the glass of water and shook his
(head, smiling cordially.
"No, no ice water," he expostulated,
at which there was a general laugh,
apparently from the anti-protybition
element.
1-atcr Dr. Price returned with uniccd
water and various cups of tea
which he set enticingly within reach
of Dr. Ix>renz, luring him meanwhile
to a seat.
Small Use for Tea.
One sip, perhaps two sips, and Dr.
Lorenz was 6ff again, the tea waved
and all iiis thought concentrated
either on the examination of a patient
j or'the exposition of some knotty point
in orthopedics. He seems to be most
happy -when, a crowd of his colleagues
(fathered around him, he is half conversing
and half teaching. At some
such times he beams upon his younger j
colleagues with brotherly love in which |
there minxes some element of the pa- i
ternal.
"There are bound to be disappoint- i
ments among the people who are
flocking to Dr. Lorenz as if he were a
miracle "man," said one observant fol- i
lower of the Ixirenz clinics. "Scores j
of the cases which are brought to him j
cculd only be eurcd by God, as the j
doctor himself has said, and hundreds j
of others are too old for bloodless sur- I
gory, which is his specialty, and can j
only be improved, if at'all, by less |
magifral processes Involving years of
treatment! The; bloodless surgical operations
themselves are performed by
Americans whom Dr. Jjorenz taught '
on his former visit here, so there is
! no dlsrnverv which he is im
| parting1 to the medical fraternity dur!
ir.g this visit, nor Arc the operations
beyond the power of American ortho|
pedjsls. Hut his vast fund of detailed
| knowledge and experience and his
I g?Snius for imparting it personally and
| communicating his enthusiasm to oth1

I also arouses the parents of crippled i
' chijdren to the possibility'of their im-1
| provemcnt and cure. They take their
children to the hospitals when otherwise
they might not do so, and thus
: are brought into contact with the modI
ern developments in othopcdtc work.
! Dr. Lorenz himself has asserted that
j he regards this as the most important
result of his visit to America from the
American point of view.
On a Double Mission.
" 'There are no bettor othopedists in
the world than the Americans.' he
says. 'I do not wish to interfere with
my colleagues here. When 1 examine
the children and diagnose their cases

I treatment carried out In only a few
j instances can I myself perform opora.
tlonn. Hut I may lie able to stimulate
: the interest cf the parents and guardians
of crippled children so that they '
will make renewed efforts to obtain
for the children treatment that per- j
hni>s can cure or at least improve
j them. We want to make crippled j
| children walk, even if they limp."
In addition to this motive I)r. Ia?I
renz hopes to help in the restoration
of good feelings between his native
Austria and the I'nited States. He ,
seized the occasion of his visits to the j
hospitals t<\ call the attention of other j
physicians to tho fact that science and j
wttr arc incompatible, and that the !
ti#ie has come to set aside international
hatreds and have done with I
| thein forever.

"But? what 'are we going to do! 1
know of one man down in Georgia who
has sunk thirty thousand dollars doing
what the government told him to do.
He built a potato house ant can't sell
the potatoes He has a thousand gallons
of molasses made from Georgia
ribbon cane, and he is offering to take
20 cents a gallon for them; although
that will not pay for the barrels they
have been put up in. He has a hundred
hogs and cannot sell them, except.at a
loss. He hna many heads of cattle and
can get but 2 1-2 cents a pound on
foot. No man can raise cattle until
they are two years old at any such
price as that."
"I don't know of hut one place in the
state where business is moving along
nicely without any complaint as to
scarcity of money,'" said the Charleston
man, "and that is at the little town
of Beaufort. They went into trucking
down around there three years ago ano.
if they miss on one thing they hit ot?
something else. They arc getting along
fine. There is hut one thing for it," ne
continued, "and that is for the landowner
to work his own land. The
Cropping system is dead. There Is
nothing left for the farmer but to ra'ise
his own supply. That means that there
will be nothing for the merchant except I
to sell a few dry goods, shoee and the
Ilk?, and what is the merchant going
to do? He'll simply have to go to
digging like the rest of them. That 1?
all I see now."

I THE FEAST 1
| OF LIGHTS 11
ammiiiramminmmiuiimmmiml
TirtiK lights on the tree are said to 11
lljy be of Jewish origin. In the .
\ month of Klslev, of the Jewish
year, corresponding nearly to our December,
and the twenty-fifth day, Jews
celebrated the feast of dedication of
(heir temple. It had been dedicated on ;
that day by Antiochus. It was dedicated
by Judas Maccabeus, anu. according to :
Jewish legend, sufficient oil was fyund
in the temple to last for the sevenbranched
candlestick for eight days,
and It would have taken eight days to
prepare new oil. Accordingly the Jews J
were wont on the twenty-fifth day of
Kislev in every house to light a can- 1
die,' on the next dnjutwo, and on the
the eighth nnd lust day of the feast,
eight candles twinkled in every house.
It is not very easy to fix the ex
net date of the Nativity, but it fell .
most probably on the last day of Kislev,
when every Jewish house in Roth- |
leliem and Jerusalem was twinkling
with lights. It is worthy of note that |
the German name for Christmas i:? j _
Wellinaeht (the nigpt of dedication), j~
as though it were associated with this j j
feast. The Greeks also call Christ- j
mas the feast of lights, the name I
given to the dedication festival, Chunnkah,
by the Jews. I
