ORTHOPEDIC INSTITUTION AT BLOOMINGDALE,

For the Treatment of Curvatures of the Spine, Club-Feet, &c. Under the direction of VALENTINE MOTT, M. D., Professor of the Operations and Principles of Surgery, with Surgical and Pathological Anatomy, in the University of the City of New York, &c. TO THE MEDICAL Gentlemen of the United STATES.-I am desirous of communicating to the Members of the Medical Profession of this country, my design of establishing an Institution on an extensive scale, for the same purposes, and upon the same plan, as that now in successful operation, under the direction of M. Jules Guérin, the distinguished Surgeon at Paris, and some others of a similar nature on the Continent of Europe.

It is well known to medical men, that within the last few years important improvements have been made in relation to the treatment of the various deformities with which the human body may be affected, and that a class of diseases which until lately ' had been almost entirely abandoned as irremediable, has now become of such interest and consequence, as to be ranked a distinct branch of the healing art, under the appellation of Orthopaedic Surgery.

Although the method of dividing muscles for certain distortions, had been adopted to a limited extent, nearly two centuries ago, it is only recently that the principle has been applied to distortions in general, and that a system of practice has been gradually matured, which experience has now sanctioned as one of the most useful and brilliant achievements of modern surgery. The treatment of Torticollis, or Wry-Neck, which may be considered the earliest attempt in Myotomy, has been ultimately followed by the operations for the various forms of Talipes, or Club-foot, Curvature of the Spine, and other deformities of the body, Strabismus and Stammering; and indeed there is scarcely any distortion, resulting from morbid muscular action, whose remedy may not properly lie within the powers of this new science.

During my residence and travels in the Old World, for the last six years, I have paid particular attention to the treatment of the deformities alluded to, and from my intimate acquaintance with the most distinguished of those gentlemen, who have devoted themselves wholly to this department of Surgery, and my own investigations on the subject, I am perfectly furnished with all the experience which has been gained in relation to it, and have also supplied myself on the spot with the numerous and complex apparatus hitherto introduced.

Finding, upon my return from Europe, that an Institution conducted upon scientific principles might advantageously be founded in this city, and that patients labouring under these distressing maladies might be much benefited, by a systematic course of treatment, I have thought it due from me to my country, and to the profession, to lay before them the facilities which I have in my power to furnish, and to take some steps towards enabling persons thus afflicted, to avail themselves of those opportunities of relief, which an Orthopedic Institution, like that of Guèrin at Paris, would certainly afford. In accordance with these views, I have engaged a suitable house for the present reception of this class of patients, and have made arrangements, which will be completed early in the Spring, for a permanent establishment, to be located at Bloomingdale, about six miles out of town, on the banks of the Hudson River, where extensive grounds, and a gymnasium for the appropriate exercises, will be attached to the mansion. VALENTINE MOTT.

Any person wishing farther information, may apply personally, or by letter, addressed to me, 152 Bleecker-street, Depau Place, New York City. V. M.
