Sir Herbert Barker's methods of manipulative surgery are to be handed on to the medical profession which for years re- fused to recognise his work.

He recently completed at St. Thomas's Hospital, London, a Alm showing his most important manipu lative operations in practice. This Alim will be showr to mcitical students.

In addition, he will give a series of demonstrations' which will pass on to orthopaedic surgeons and to pos- terity the technique which has made him famous despite years of opposi→ Miori.-

"Sir Herbert said that he will give these demonstrations as often as he can, until he is satisfied that is methods ere being carried out to his satisfaction.

REPEATED OFFERS
