stand alone, her entire body was in constant motion and her case pronounced incurable. At this point my work started in the hospital in which she was an inmate.
At a gathering of prominent physicians of New York and other cites the projection of the ''Analysis-of -Motion" pictures of this particular young woman upon the screen disclosed an hitherto unsuspected muscular agitation in her left leg, which resembled nothing more closely than the quiver of jelly which had been well jellied. This particular muscle tremor extended from below the left kneecap to the hip, apparently a continuous motion traveling from the knee-cap to hip and returning to its starting point, aroused intense interest in the minds of the physicians, from among whom a committee of three was appointed to examine the subject, with a resulting report they were unable to detect the muscular tremor with the naked eye and that the standard motion-picture film utterly failed to disclose it.

Less than a month ago I was informed by a professor of neurology in one of our leading colleges, conversant with the case, that the study of this hitherto unsuspected condition had led to a different course of treatment in connection with nerves leading to the brain, that the young woman had materially improved and it was now safe to say she would ultimately recover.
This muscular movement has been described by the medical profession as a "muscle wave" for the want of a better name.
We should all be proud that motion pictures have risen to greater heights than purely amusement features. They have pointed out a new method of medical treatment which may alleviate the sufferings of humanity and prolong life.
