The principle is always corrected, but overcorrected, and adeformity on the opposite sidecaused. After this has taken place a remov-able corset should be made which thepatient wears all the time, removingit morning and night for the purposeof exercising. Later on, the corsetmay be removed at nigiit. A case is not cured until the patientcan voluntarily hold the spine straight. Method of making pressure on projecting ribs to correct rotation in lateralcurvature of the spine. (R. H. Sayrc.) to secure marked flexion, of the spine,and in this position seek to unrotatethe vertebrae, making pressure againstprojecting points and cutting win-dows through which the concave ribsmay project in response to pressurefrom within the thorax. Such a corrective jacket should berenewed in six weeks, the paddingbeing changed once or twice a week,according to the amount of change. Efforts are made to untwist thespine until the deformity is not only without support, and until the twistedbones have become straight, as other-wise the spine will relapse when sup-l)ort is removed.
