BONE GRAFTING, Successful Case Reported From Wich ita, Kansas-Fattier of the Sub ject Lives Id N. C. Bone grafting ia yet in its in fancy and but few cases have been reported in the medical journals. It is said to be one of the most difficult operations known to medical science. A suc cessful case is reported from Wesley Hospital, Wichita Kansas, and the subject is a grandson of North Carolina, being a son of Cyrus W. Harvey, perhaps the best known minister of the Soci ety of Friends in America, being an author of note, former editor of the Western Friend and hav ing made many ministerial visits to all parts of the United States. Friend Harvey's father was born and reared in Randolph county, North Carolina, and his mother was a native of Pasquotank coun ty, this State. They both, with their parents, went West more thsn 70 years ago. Cyrus W. Harvey is now living in Rich Square where he married one of the most intellectual women of the county, Juliana Peele. They both travel extensively. One of his sons, who lives in Texas, was afflicted with tuber-1 culosis of the spinal column, and a hump had formed on his back, causing him to go in a stooping position. We requested his fath er to furnish us with an account of the operation and in answer he sent the following: Editor Roanoke Chowan Times. ' Ittresponse to that request for information about my son who was operated on for Tuberculosis of spinal column I learn he has recovered and returned from Wichita to Seabrook, Texas. It is so Btrangea esse of bone grafting that I will quote from mv son's description of it: Wesley Hospital, Wichita, Kan. "I will try to answer father's questions so he can understand the nature of the operation. There were two vertebra diseased in mv spine and to make a good strong graft it was necessary to make graft on six vertebra, two above and two below my hump. They made an incision on my back about ten inches long. Then they Bplit the six vertebra open right in the center of my back, those boney processes that pro tude out along back of vertebra. They split right down the center of those then they took a piece of bone off the front of my Bhin, a wedged-shaped slab, seven inches long, then they forced this wedged shaped piece of bone down into those split vertebra. They trimmed those enlarged vertebra down near natural size, then they drew the flesh togeth er and sewed me up. Doctor had an iron frame made 6 feet long, 2 feet wide, he covered this with canvass stretched as tight as possible. They rolled me off of operation table on to this frame right on to my back, that tight canvass takes place of splint. My weight holds that bone in place and the tight can vass makes me perfectly straight." ;:.', : v At the end of eleven weeks he went home alone from ! Wichita to Texas where he with his family and neighbors rejoice, over his recovery. "A grandson writes: "Uncle Walt is as well aa any man." Another son living there writes: "Walt walks as straight as an army officer." and that "his eye is bright with hope when before it was a picture of despair." ' Most respectfully, ; Cyeus W, Harvkt.
