From urgent tracheotomy by gas or candelight; from fear of laparotomy because of infection; from excision of the hip joint for tuberculous disease; from carbolizing fragments in fractures; from a despairing acceptance of deformed hearts and heads and bowels; and from alcohol, chloroform and ether dripped on a mask—to teaching that ensures early diagnosis; to the confident repair of major damage or deformity in all systems from birth through childhood; with skilled support before and after operation—is a spectacular story!
