Ill Within the past five months I have adopted the plan ofcutting out an inch or two of the jacket, its entire length infront, then cutting the shh^t and glueing it over the jacket,eyelet-hooks being inserted on either side; and the jacket andshirt thus used I find much better and more acciuately fittingthan any contriA^ance of the corset-maker. Case V.—Gabriella Snow, set. 14, jSTyack, New healthy; child always strong and active. Six months Fig. ago, while fitting a dress, mother noticed a very slight lateralcurvature, which has increased rapidly within the past fewweeks. Dr. Polhemus, of Nyack, was requested to see her, andhe advised the parents to bring her to me for treatment. Her condition when I first saw her, May 23, 1876, was as 112 ROTARY-LATERAL CURVATURE OF THE SPINE. seen in fig. 63, from a photograph by OlSTeil. When she wasself-suspended she became almost perfectly straight. A plaster of Paris jacket was applied, with the result as seenin fig. 64, from a photograph by ONeil taken the same day asthe first picture. She was 1 inch taller with the jacket on thanbefore it was applied. June 10, 1876.—Called to-day to ask if she could ride on Fig. 63. Fig. 64.
