Some Modern Methods In Use j To Equalize Length Os Bones

I By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. DEFORMITIES tn human beings result frpm many causes. Certain diseases of the muscles, joints, nerves, tendons or bones bring deformities in their wake. Scar tissue from disease is a frequent cause of deformity. A short arm or leg, due to bones of unequal length, is usually the result of a birth Injury or other injury. It may also follow poliomyelitis, or the bone infection, osteomyelitis. A short arm can usually be disguised fairly well by the right clothing. It need not cause any real disadvantage unless it is extremely short. A short leg, however, can produce a definite disadvantage. Until recently, with the perfection of modern anesthetics, a person with this deformity had to wear a high shoe, or use some other form.of control. For adults, an operation was perfected in which the longer bone was usually shortened. The more important search for many years has been to find a method of equalizing bones in children before the deformity is , too marked. We are now seeing some success. We have found that, a symi pathectomy operation, cutting

certain nerves tn the back, will decrease the growth of a bone on one side of the body. We have also found that breaking a bone can sometimes increase its size when it heals. Metal or ivory screws can be planted in the shaft portion of a bone to increase its growth. Doctors have also used staples of stainless steel to retard bone growth. These staples are inserted in the portion of the bbne which controls growth, known as the epiphysis. By using methods to decrease growth in the normal bone and stimulate growth in the abnormal one, doctors have been ablel-1 to equalize the two legs. When staples are psed, however, they ■ may have to remain in place for at least two years. - I B It is always a pleasure to advise parents of new as they are’perfected, when they can help prevent certain deformities in children. ■ QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS u A.

\ CHAPTER SEVENTEEN “THIS,” Henri told Heloise as he Continued his diatribe against Lincoln Calvert, “is a matter of principle.” I "Oh, principle.” Heloise tossed the idea away. “Now the question is simply this: Do we let this perfectly respectable young man come—” "Perfectly respectable?" Henri bleated, losing his usual firm control of his voce di petto. “Perfectly respectable? His uncle was a Unionist— ** Heloise Ignored this. "Do we allow him to come here quietly," she went on, "or do we encourage Leonie to be rebellious by getting her dander up? You know what she is.” x ' "Heloise—” Henri said. He looked suddenly more unhappy than wrathful. “We’ve done everything in the world for that child in the hope of making her life happy,” ( he said plaintively, “and now this young ruffian comes to plague her.” i “Not her,** Heloise corrected. "You." v Henri took up the photograph of Leonie in her first communion dress, which; stood on the crowded table, and stared at it. “Do for Heaven's sake put that down,” Heloise said in irritation. “You’re as bad as Cousin Tessie and that picture cif Theodora.” “1 was just looking at it," Henri explained, but he put the photograph down hurriedly. “Tm responsible for Leonba,” he informed Heloise. “You don’t say! Well, so am I. But Leonie Is almost twenty-two years old. We can’t go on treating her like a child. Not If we want any peace in this mouse." “You forget I’m her godfather,” Henri said. “I was her godfather hy proxy, before we became her gyuardians—" “I know that,” . Heloise interrupted. "I’m her godmother, too. I was here whe p it happened. Don’t tell me somefthing like that as if I’d been away tor sixty years! You still haven’t come to the point/’ “That Is the point. We are responsible tor this child’s welfare and spiritual well-lining, and this young man is disreputable and a Protestant." Heloise, sagged a little. “It seems to me ti-sat you’re taking this matter too seriously. Young men who come to see gyirls don’t necessarily intend to marry them.” I ' ' - “You mean,’* Hen.ii demanded, his mustaches bristling, “that this

fellow would trifle with our Leonie?" “I didn’t say anything of the kind.* But I don’t see why you’re always jumping to Conclusions. And people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Didn't you expect to marry Antoinette Fielding, or were you trifling with her? She’s a Protestant." Henri was outraged. “That is a personal matter,” he , said, "and I resent such talk.” "It’s hard not to be personal about this. It’s a very personal matter, too," Heloise said. “I don’t believe tm mixed marriages. But I don't want that child to be an old maid like me. It happens too easily in Charleston. A gyirl doesn’t get too many opportunities, especially when she's been led to think that she’s above everybody. 1 don't want to say this to Leonie, because I'm not anxious to encourage this young man, but if 1 had the chance to marry Oscar Leonard again I’dl do it, Protestant or no Protestant.” Although property ” respectful of Helolse’s regrets, Henri was not “But—- ” he said. "Besides,” Heloise went on, “if we forbid Leonie to have this young man here, as I’ve already said, shell think of nothing else night and day. If we make light of it, it does a gyirl no harm to have several young men interested in her. Each one is a sort of nestegg for the others. And don’t forget what I’ve said about Leonie being grown up. Mama wanted to know everything I did when I was a woman of forty. I don't want Leonie to be treated like that.” She waitjed for an instant, before thriving tn the clincher.

But in this case I wish' you’d try my way of doing, things.” "Do you mean to suggest that Tm bossy?" Henri demanded. “Whatever put that into your head?” Heloise asked. “I didn’t mean to: suggest anything of the kind. Well, do you mean to take my advice about this t” “Partly,” Henri said, "but—” “We can discuss it more fully later,” Heloise said. "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof, as Cousin Julie probably would say. Now I have to get my beauty sleep.” Henri remained behind to put out the gas. He had a disquieted feeling.

He|found three empty traps. Even the salt pork was undisturbed except by a few vagrant files. “Damn it!” Henri rumbled. Prctfamty was so unusual for him tflat Queenie, who was sleepily getting the hominy started, could not rteslst a laugh. Mister Henri was a case. ■'• | “Ain’ ketch none, sub 7* s “Not a one. I tell you, Queenie,” Henrt said, “there’s a curse on everything I do. Sometimes I think somebody has cunjered me*” “Dq, Lawd.” Queenie said. "Don’t talk that way, Mister Henri. You makes me feel bad.” “Well, that’s the way It Is,” Henrf said. "I can’t even catch rats.*? ' Disconsolate, he sat on the piazza and turned idly through the paper. There was no news of tiiteresf to him on the front page and nothing anywhere about the war on rats. He was about to fold the paper and take it tn to Heloise*B j place at the table when a small- item caught his eye. Young Lincoln Calvert, it appeared, had bought a tract of land from* Mr* Garrjson and was going to "emulate the excellent example of several ut opr leading citizens who have found truck farming profitable." Aside from the affront to Henri’s conservative taste given by a. personal item of this sort the news served as' an Unpleasant reminder of the young man’s presence at the front! door on the preceding evening/ ■ “That settles it,” Hepri said to himself. "That boy will probably be abound here for a tong time. I wonder where he got the money? The Calverts never had two red cents to clink together. I suppose that fellow has borrowed right up to this hilt.” He! was only moderately comforted by the hope that the venture Would be unsuccessful or that close; attention to farming would keep'Llncoln Calvert at a distance. Coming upon the heels of his tenure to exterminate the rats, this was a bad start for the day, wAi4
