DURHAM CHILD IS
TREATED BY LOREXZ j
Durhma, March 20. A. P. Tilley,
manager of the local Gilmers Special
ty store, returned from New York
yesterday with his little 13-year-old
daughter, Laura, who was operated
on Saturday, March 11, by the fa
mous Austrian surgeon, Dr. Charles
Lorenz, who came to America to op
erate upon children as a mark of
gratitude from his nation for what;
America has done for the world.1
The little girl was stricken with in
fantile paralysis some time ago and
since then has been unable to use her
lower limbs. i
Assurance was given Mr. Tilley
that within one year or 18 months
she will be able to walk without the
aid of crutches. Her left leg is now
encased in a plaster of parls case to
hold the leg sraight until the bones
firmly knit. Another trip will be
.made to New York the first of June
when the cast will be removed. Dr. '
Lorenz will not be there then as he
will remain in this country for a lit
tle more than a month longer ac
cording to the local man. His as
sistant, however, will be there to .
give the child the necessary atten
tion.
