It is the simple true lateralcurvature of the spine, without the sigmoid twist, which characterises the rotatory lateral curvature of the spine,or scoliosis, commonly misnamed ordinary lateral curvature. e represents a drawing, taken from a photograph,of the same patient twelve months afterwards. The intermediate treatment consisted of gymnastic exercises, andthe use of the lateral sling so as to support the patient upon the prominent side of the chest a few hours daily, by^yhich means the act of chest expansion being mechanically retarded on the sound side, expansion of the contractedside is favoured. The lateral curve consequent upon pleuritic contracture being necessarily concavetowards the contracted side of the chest, tends to force the healthy portion of thechest to the opposite si
