(Special to "The Evening Post.")

, .AUCKLAND, This Day.

The work:of Dr. Norman Royle,' of Sydney, in developing surgery of the sympathetic nervous system,, was endorsed by prominent delegates at the annual conference of the British Medical Association held in Winnipeg recently, said Dr. Keith Brown, of Melbourne, who attended the conference, and is returning to Australia by the Aorangi. '. - •' "Dr. Koyle has bee,n doing great wprk,'jvhich.has won him fame among members of the medical .profession- all over the world," Dr. Brown said. "However,, in some quarters medical men have been slow to take advantage of his work, and the profession in England in particular has ■■ been awaiting developments in the United States. The famous Mayo clinic has taken up the work very seriously, and other doctors have also commended it. That it is now: generally accepted was made evident at the conference by Lord Moynihan, the famous British surgeon, who warmly congratulated Dr. Eoyle on his work.

Dr. .Eoyle has already achieved remarkable results through his surgery of the sympathetic nerves. Recently a young girl who had been a cripple from birth arid,who had never walked a step was taken to Sydney by her. parents. After treatment from Dr. Boyle she returned to Auckland, and, leaning on her. father's arm, was able to walk down the gangway to the wharf."
