Show DOCTORS ON DR.JLORENZ Some Adverse Criticisms on Mctbcis of Noted N" Vienna Surgeon. , WASHINGTON, May 13. Fifteen of the Component societies of the Congress of American Physicians and Surgeons held meetings today and some of them concluded their work. The methods of Prof. Adolph Lorens. the Austrian surgeon, in the treatment of congenital hip disease and club feet, furnished the feature of general interest inter-est at the meetings of the American Surgical and Orthopedic association. To the Surgical association the case of Charles Willet, operated upon last November No-vember by Dr. Lorenz for club feet was I presented. Although one of excessive difficulty, the operation was pronounced a perfect success. No discussion especially espe-cially condemnatory of Lorenz's methods meth-ods was elicited, but some -of the more conservative members of the association were adverse in their criticisms. The statement was made that the operation of Dr. Lorenz upon Lolita Armour, daughter of J. Ogden Armour of Chicago, to perform which the Austrian Aus-trian surgeon had come to the United States, had not proved entirely successful. success-ful. It was evident from the tone of the discussion that a majority of surgeons in attendance were supporters of the Lorenz methods. No action, however, was taken. |
