Many similar and equally wonderful injuries to the spine are on record.
The results sometimes following the operation of laminectomy for fracture of the vertebrae are often marvelous.

One of the most successful on record is that reported by Dundore.

The patient was a single man who lived in Mahanoy, Pa., and was admitted to the State Hospital for Injured Persons, Ashland, Pa., June 17, 1889, suffering from a partial dislocation of the 9th dorsal vertebra.

The report is as follows--"He had been a laborer in the mines, and while working was injured March 18, 1889, by a fall of top rock, and from this date to that of his admission had been under the care of a local physician without any sign of improvement.

At the time of his admission he weighed but 98 pounds, his weight previous to the injury being 145.
