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 SL. Thomas's Hospital, London, a film showing his most important manipu- ative operations in practice. This flim wilt be shown to medical students.

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

Han.

Sir Herbert said that he will give these demonstrations an often na he can, until he is satisfed that his methods are being carried out to his satisfaction.

TIMELY ACKNOWLEDGMENT Referring to the fact that the medical stuffs at St. Thomas's

and agreed unanimously to accept his offer

to give the demonstrations, Sir Her bert said:

"I have worked all my life for this achievement, and the sense of relief and satisfaction is

over- Simply whelming. I knew acknowledgment would come, but I feared' it might come when I was in my grave. Many pioneera have been recognised only after their death, and I began to think that might be my unfortunate lot also.

The whole of my technique may now be handed an from generation to generation. That is all, I have worked for, and my work has been my life. My methods will now be available to every surgeon in every country. In the world and

to 'every suffering person.

REPEATED OFFERS "The tragedy Is that my offer was not accepted many years ago. Re- peatedly I offered under any terms ar condillons to demonstrate my work so that it could be considered and judged. I was always met with refusais.

"Now that my work has been re- cognised I can look back on the old days with satisfaction. It was an exhausting almost a hearbreaking- fight. We have given tremendously hard

on elther side. For- tunately I have always had the forensie spirit of my father, who was a famous lawyer, und was able to give as good as I got."

One part of the film which Sir Herbert has made shows manipulative operations for "tennis elbow" and recurrent dislocation of the shoulder joint.

WHOLE FIELD OF SURGERY "Other parts," he said, "show work on affections of the low spine, which are alien very difficult to cure, and what is known as pes planus,' or flat fool.

"The film also shows operations. for hip affections and knee cartilage dislocations; in fact, it covers prae-

He told Brockville's police chief: "I must get back immediate-tically the whole field of the man- so that I can clear up everything, and vindicate myself."
