MEDICAL SCIENCE.
AUCKLAND, October 6.
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. This statement was made by Dr Keith Brown, of Melbourne, who attended the conference, and is returning to Australia by the Aorangi.
“Dr Royle has been doing a great work, which has won him fame among members of tne medical profession all over the world,” Dr Brown said. “ However, in some quarters, medical men havi been slow to take advantage of his work, and the profession in England in particular has been awaiting developments in tho 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 Royle on his work. Dr Royle has already achieved remarkable results through his surgery of the sympathetic nerves. Recently a young girl who had been a cripple from birth and who had never walked a step was taken to Sydney by her parents. After treatment from Dr Royle she returned to Auckland, and, leaning on her father’s arm, was able to walk down the gangway to the wharf.
