Case L. F. 6,528. This is a case of a little girl with double 

 hip joint disease who inherited a weakened constitution and 

 a tendency toward tuberculosis. She hardly had a fair start 

 in life! Tho the prognosis on her case was unfavorable at 

 first, she gradually improved till at the present time she is 

 wearing braces and hops about on crutches with increasing 

 agility, and eventually she will walk, tho with stiffened hips. 

 The accompanying photograph (Illustration III) shows her 

 just before her discharge from the hospital.

Case R. G. 6,847. This case is a beautiful little girl with 

 tuberculosis of the hip. The infection in the hip caused a 

 shortening of the leg, but with her shoe built up as is shown 

 in the picture (Illustration IV) and braces and crutches tem- 

 porarily to keep the weight and strain off the affected leg, she 

 is improving gradually and is able to walk about.
