Abstract
The chariots shall rage in the streets; they shall justle one another in the broad ways; they shall seem like torches; they shall run like the lightnings. Nahum 2:4 AS man controls ever increasing power and lives longer and longer, his achievements more and more bear the visage of Frankenstein's monster. On the highways of the United States alone, 40,000 deaths and 250,000 injuries occur every year. Most of the latter are peripheral, involving bones, tendons, muscles, ligaments, nerves and blood vessels. Far too many leave permanent souvenirs of disability.The afternoon of life has been amazingly prolonged. Never before . . .Keywords
