A year ago last summer, word came to me of an injury a lady had sustained in falling from her wheel. I received the message in the evening, and went immediately to work. I called to see the patient the next morning; she said she was taken out of the intense suffering during the night, for which she was truly grateful. Her limb presented a strange appearance, the foot being turned in, and it seemed to be much swollen. She could not step on it without great suffering, or turn it except the way it was, which was unnatural. I gave her absent treatment after that, and in three days she walked from her room to the dining-room, and in a week from the time of the accident she came in a car to see me, walking from the street into the house very naturally, and although I have seen her many times since, she has never complained of it in any way. This is only one of many demonstrations that I have witnessed in the last seven years in this city.
