...Lorenz came in 1921 with his sons, Albert and Conrad, as assistants. His intentions were to reduce, in clinic, skeletal deformities by manipulative surgery similar to his operation in Chicago 19 years before on Lolita Armour. He was world-famed for his technique; would do much good to some cripples; would attract medical and surgical students to his amphitheatre, students who might later attend his Viennese clinics to his legitimate profit as a teacher.
