The
deformities of the human body are many and varied. The ones I
have to deal with at the Sanitarium are mostly deformities of
childhood, as at this time, the majority of the deformities can be
corrected. At the Sanitarium the past twenty five years I have
corrected many cases of the following deformities: Club feet,
club hands, knock knee, bow legs, hare-lip, wry-neck, flat foot,
hollow foot, webbed fingers, contracted fingers and toes and cross
eyes.
The above mentioned
deformities are all congenital (born with) and should be treated
early in life. These deformities require apparatus especially
manufactured for each individual case. Many of these
deformities can be corrected by the apparatus alone, while others
require a special operation in addition to the apparatus.
Parents who have
deformed children, do not put off having them treated. Every
day's delay makes a possible cure harder.
