Two or three of these oldsters remembered him 24 years before when in Chicago he cured the then Lolita Armour (now Mrs John J. Mitchell Jr.) and so gained his U. S. fame. At that time he was beginning to look seedy, to show signs of weariness (his manual operation requires terrific force). What had made him grow so vital, so virile? True he was slightly deaf. But otherwise he seemed a man in full prime. Dr. Lorenz...
