SATURDAY EVENING, DEC. 11, 1880. Kegina Dal Cin. 'Inte the Hands of a Weman." We reprint the following interesting sketch of a most remarkable woman from the Philadelphia Ecenimj Telegraph. Be fore republication in the Intelligence!; it was submitted te a well known and highly accomplished lady of this city who knew Itegina Dal Cin aud has consulted with her iu Europe. Our correspondent writes as fellows regarding the subjoined sketch : "This account of her is se full, se authentic and and se accurate that I could add nothing which would be of fur ther interest. It should hi widely pub lished tebriug it te this uotice of any one who might wish te consult her. The woman is no charlatan, Some of her cures, especially upon children, have been perfectly wonderful. Of ceurse, in cases of long standing, when the person has grown up from childhood se, and the limb has net had its proper development, the cure cannot be se complete, but even in such cases she benefits them greatly. Several persons have written te me since her arrival in this country aud by my ad vice have taken their children te her, and in every case the operation has been suc cessful." Ens. Intelligence",. The story of Itegiua Dal Cin, who has recently set sail from America for -her native Italy, alter a sojourn of a year in Brooklyn, is comparatively little known in America. And yet it may safely be as serted that no mere rcmarkable woman has lived during her time ; none whose history is mere interesting or whose un aided achievements in the relief of suffer ing humanity have been greater than hers" A In icf sketch el her wonderful career cmnet fail te interest any intelligent rea der. Uegina Dal Cin is an Italian woman, born in the village of San Vcndcmiaua, in : VeuetKi, April -Un, lelii, el immuie par entage, her family name being Jlarchcsini. Her mother, a simple peasant, possessed the gift of setting broken bones and re placing ordinary dislocations, a gift by which many persons have wen much imputation and profit both in Europe and America. Frem her iufaney little ltc'ina was familiarized with her mother's operations aud when only nine years old she bravely undcitoekto set her mother's leg, broken by the overturning of a wagon, following her directions se skillfully as te elleet a perfect cure. During her mother's c invalcsccncc. Uegiua treated many cases, under her guidance, most successfully and gained by this accident a species of thirst for the. performance of such operations which has resulted in a long life of extra ordinary aud almost incredible achieve ments. The child pursued experiments in bone-setting by breaking and dislocat ing the legs of chickens, evidently with no consciousness of any cruelty in.mctheds, which were te an ignorant Italian peasaut child the most natural means for acquir ing the knowledge she se eagerly sought. When about eighteen years old Kegina was married te Lorenze Dal Cin, a pcas- of Auzane. and it is said that the costs of the wedding festivities were defrayed by the petting of four broken limbs by the young bride en her wedding morning. She was left a widow at an early age, with one son, who subsequently became a priest aud has since died. She continued te re side at Auzane, which has since been her home, except during a brief, but eventful residence in 1871-2 in Trieste. Her many successful operations seen produced the common result of arousing professional jealousy and opposition, and ere long Rcgiua Dal Cin was summoned before the cjurt of the district te answer for having practiced surgery without a license. The special offense consisted iu the successful treatment of a fractured leg which the doctors of the neighborhood had decided could only be cured by the heroic process of amputation. The peasaut wo man of Anzano, being sent for, set and cured the fractured limb, and when sum moned te answer for practicing surgery without a license, produced the grateful fellow whom she had restored before the court, aud the eloquent plea that he made for his benefactress wen the day. Dal Cin was acquitted, but admonished te "go anil sin no mere." This occurred iu 1843. It is scarcely necessary te say that the admonition had no effect in suppressing the exercise of what Hcgina has always fell as a heaven-gift, and for twenty-five years mere she continued 'te practice her art among her peasant neighbors, confin ing herself chielly te the operations which she had learned from her mother. During this period, however, she pushed her ex perience beyond the scope of her mother's practice and gradually acquired the ex traordinary ability te perform the import ant operation of the reduction of disloca tions of the femur which has since made her name famous. Her progress was made iu the face of determined opposition and stolid prejudice, and a second time was she arraigned by the regular doctors and sentenced by the court of Vittoria for practising without a license te two months imprisonment. Streng in her faith in her cause, she appealed te the higher tribunals at Venice ami there defended herself se ably as te be acquitted, although again prohibited (.tern all operations in the fu ture. Fer a time she seems te have suc cumbed te the dread of the penalties of the law and te .have practiced only very pri vately. But Itegiua Dal Cin was destined te a greater career of usefulness, and a successful operation secretly performed in 18CS for a lady of high rank in Venice, seems te have acted as a reversal of the de gree of the court, and from that time till new she has pursued her triumphant path of wonderful usefulness, "no man hinder ing her." She was seen afterward called te Venice aud performed a number of hip joint epcratins iu the presence of distin guished surgeons who testified by public certificates te her extraordinary achicv mcuts. Dal C!n at Trieste. Her successes in Venice spread her fame te ether Italian cities. In 1871, she went te Trieste, where her first operation was the euro of a daughter of one of the prin cipal bankers of that city, who had suffer ed from dislocation of the hip joint from infancy. Honors and open recognition new began te reward her long years of brave endurance of contumely and pre fessienal persecution. She was invited by the municipality te operate at the city hospital, which she did repeatedly, in the presence of the assembled surgceus and physicians. She was entertained at a din ner given in her honor by the mayor of the city, and at the end of her year's resi dence in Trieste, during which time she operated three hundred times, she was presented with a superb album by a depu tation of her patients, headed by a gentb gentb manwhehad been cured by her after twenty-seven years of suffering from dislo cation of the hip. The album contained meie th.iu four thousand signatures of the citizens, including the names of about eighty surgeons aud physicians. The ded ication, printed in geld, ran thus : " Te Regina Dal Cin of Anzano near Vitterio, who, unacquainted with the art of Hippocrates, hath robbed nature of her sccicts by her marvelous operations in surgery her miraculous and instanta neous reductions of dislocated joints, dis torted nerves and tendons the under signed, in witness of the admiration of Trieste, gladdened by three hundred cures, unanimously dedicate this solemn testi mony of eternal gratitude for this triumph of incontrovertible truth." The municipal authorities testified their appreciation of this wonderful woman's work by presenting her, en her return te her home at Anzano, with a purse of one hundred geld Napoleons and the following letter : " Much Respecued Signeka : Having come among us at the solicitation of one of our citizens, who had confidence in your skill in certain surgical operations, the striking proofs you have given of your ability merit general admiration. Te a large number of peer patients who have sought relicT-at your hands yen have de voted an affectionate solicitude, which seems se natural te your character and which has extended itself te these of the city hospital with inestimable benefit. Moved by the great success which has crowned your work, and particularly by the generosity and philanthropy whiclf se particularly distinguish you, the Municipal Council of Trieste beg te express te you, through me, their sincere thanks for the extraordinary benefits te the patients who were almost instantaneously cured by yen and who bless you. " The municipal council remit the en closed material souvenir as a mark of their gratitude and that of the citizens of Trieste. "Yours, etc., etc., ' Dk.P'Angkm Peuksta." Sustained by these strong testimonials, Signora Dal Cin new applied te the Italian government for a patent, allowing hcrj te practise under eihcial authority. This was granted te her, and its presentation by the Cemmissairc of Victeria was made the occasion of a public fete, by the pco pce pco ple of Anzano. Large numbers of her grateful patients assembled te unite in her modest triumph ever professional preju dice and persecution. Her unpretending cettage parlor is chicfiy furnished with the trophies of her skill, iu the form of dis carded crutches and surgical appliances, and amid these she received her official visitors as they conferred upon her the justly coveted recognition of the Italian government. One alter another el her pa tients rehearsed the story of long endur ance of the old-fashioned tortures or of hopeless acceptance of the incvitable deem of the regular ptofessien, until the peasant woman of Anzano had wrought her almost miraculous cure and restored the cripple te health and activity. The story of this happy fete day is admirably told, as arc most of the facts hitherto nar rated, by Capt. S. B. Luce, U. S. N., in a most interesting paper iu The Gahtxy for May, 1872. lie thus describes one of the operations which he himself witnessed. "The only operation we ourselves wit nessed was the case of a boy seventeen years of age, who had a dislocated hip of four years' duration. The first morning's visit of La Dal Cin she ordered a bran poultice applied te the hip. The second visit, en the following morning, she re moved the poultice, and taking the ankle in her left hand, the leg just below the knee in the right, she bent the leg back toward the body and then gave it a twist outward and brought it down straight, giving it two twists, and then placed the two feet together, and cried out in her bright, animated way, "Finite! Finite! Finile!" I, tee, thought the movements wcre preliminary, and could scarcely be lieve the operation ever, but she showed me that the soles of the feet were even. Twe minutes before there had been a dif ference of three inches iu the length of the legs ! The patient himself was even mere astonished. He thought she was merely trying the leg te see of what movements it was capable bcfeie making her diagnosis, and he declares he felt net the slightest pain." Ial Cin In America. A little mere than a year age a lady of Brooklyn, the wife of a distinguished lead er of the New Yerk bar, sought Signora Dal Cin's aid at Vitterio, for her crippled daughter. The success of the operation and the desire te extend similar blessings te ether afflicted parents and their chil dren led this American lady te urge upon her a visit te this country. Happily, the hospitable aud public-spirited invitation was extended and Signora Dal Cin arrived iu Brooklyn with her grateful American friend about November 1, 1879. During her year's sojourn in Brooklyn she has been consulted by nearly one thousand patients. The greater number of these who flecked te her for aid she dismissed as beyond the reach of her powers ; but she has operated in mere than tice hundred and fifty eases, aud nine-tenths of these opera tiens have been succssluf. l'erfcct cures have net been affected iu the whole of this extraordinary number of operations, nor hare they always been premised. But very great relief has been invariably atferded, and with few if any exceptions the results of her treatment have been precisely in accordance with what she has undertaken te de. Of these two hundred and fifty operations, which include many forms of fracture and luxatien, Dal Cin states that seven-tenths of them have been reductions of dislocation of the hip, mak ing one hundred and seventy-five cases of this important operation performed in a single year. During this year of incessant exercise of her rare and strange gift in Brooklyn, there is no record of a single authenticated case of any serious error in Dal Cin's treat ment. In one or two cases, careful inquiry develops some error in her diagne- sis, but even in these no injury has result ed te the patient When she has doubted her ability te effect a cure, she has inva riably dccliucd te attempt an operation, aud in all cajes she has clearly stated in advance just hew much improvement she could accomplish, and, as already stated, the results have almost invariably confirm ed her predictions. It has been her habit te invite the attendance of the family phy sician te witness her operation aud treat ment ; but se strong has been the bond age of professional prejudice that her invi tation has net been accepted in mere than about twenty cases. The common rule has been a passive refusal te admit that she has accomplished what she has claim ed and what her patients have experienced and acknowledged New and then, seme mero liberal-minded surgeon or physician has conceded the facts occurring liel'ere his own eyes, but the profession at large has stoutly clung te its skepticism ; and even when unable openly t deny, has refused te confess that the traditions of surgery have been at fault and that the fault has been practically proved at the hands of a woman. It has been reserved te Philadelphia, as the old chief seat of American surgery and medicine, te extend an intelligent and sci entific recognition te this Italian peasant woman and in se doing, te rescue the rep utation of a great and learned profession from some portion of that disrepute which its lifelong persecution and prescription of riegina ualUin nave Drought upon it. ibis most creditable result has been brought about by means of one of the only two op erations performed by Dal Cin for Phila delphia patients. The patient was a lady who had suffered from childhood from luxatien ef the -right hip, occurring dar ing a violent attack of typhoid fever brought en by excessive indulgence in the cxcrcise of skiDDincr the rope. The dislocation was complete, the head of the femur being thrown up against the side of the pelvis in a position which caused a shortening of the leg of about seven inches, nearly two inches of the deficiency at the time of operation being due te arrested growth of the bones. The abnormal position of the head of the thigh bone was easily perceptible, and the fact of the dislocation was known te the physi cians in charge of the child at the time. Its reduction was net attempted, as it was believed that there had been such ruptures of the ligaments as' te make the retention of the bone in its socket impossible, even if the reduction could be effected at that time, which was about four months after the luxatien. The crippled child erew te womanhood, gradually gaining the power of locomotion, first by the aid of crutches aud finally by the nse of a beet, built up en the inside te the height of about seveu iuches. Twenty years had elapsed, when the wonderful achievments of Dal Cin reached the lady's ear, and she at eucc consulted her. After a brief ex amination, Dal Cin declared that she could reduce the dislocation, but that the leir would still be about two inches shorter than the ether. A fomentation of bran and ene or two simple herbs waa applied for ten days te the muscles of the hip, and then the dexterous Italian, in a moment's time and without inflicting the least pain, performed her sreat operation as already described, and befere the patient was aware, her joyous. "Flnltel" "Flaltel" announced that the thing was done. The bone was back in the socket that it had deserted twenty years age and that, ac cording te all the books and all the exper ience and learning of surgery, could net possibly receive it ! The operation com plete, a light splint holds the bone te its new position, the patient is kept in a re cumbent position for three weeks, and then is' placed upon her feet and begins her lessen of walking, very timidly at first, but gaining confidence and strength every day. The leg, upon accurate measure ment, is found te be just a quarter of an inch longer than Dal Cin premised te make it, and the delighted patient returns home rejoicing in the geed fortune that brought her at the latest possible mement, into the wendcr-wi irking hands of Regina Dal Cin. Unlike Brooklyn, New Yerk and Bosten where surgical science has, as a very gen eral rule, scouted at every claim of Dal Cin's skill as that efan arrant and ignorant charlatan and imposter, there is in Phila delphia a spirit of enlightened and liberal scientific inquiry, ready te learn wherever knowledge was te be gained, te abandon erroneous theories however detected, and te award credit for merit wherever deserv ed. The case which we have just described came te the knowledge of ene of Philadel phia's distinguished surgeons, Dr. Themas G. Morten, and he promptly accepted an opportunity for an examination. In com pany with Dr. Anna 31. Broomall, the tal ented Resident of the Weman's hospital, Dr. Morten made a careful investigation of the history of the case, which affords strong evidence of the orig inal dislocation, the character of the operation and its results, arriving at the irresistible conclusion, frankly conceded in the face of every theory aad tradition of his profession, that, assuming the fact of the dislocation, the redaction has been perfectly accomplished under circum stances hitherto considered as making such an operation impossible ; that the restored joint has its full natural movement, and that the successful performance of Dal Cin probably opens te surgical science an important revision of its accepted theories regarding old luxatiens, and an opportu nity for great benefit te mankind in a di rection long age abandoned as impossible. This interesting case was brought be fore the monthly meeting of the Philadel phia Academy of Surgcry,Tuesday evening, by Dr.Morten.That it should have met with instant acccptance was net te be expected, even in view of Dr. Morten's presentation of a case cited by the great Sir Astley Cooper of a luxatien of the femur acci dentiy reduced after five years' standing. Further exact evidence of the original dis location was demanded, but it is evident that some of the surgeons present were prepared tu fellow Dr. Morten's example and te give the facts stated by him an honest and careful, examination. As it was said of these wise men of Athens who heard St. Paul's great plea for his new doctrine of the resurrection : "Seme mock ed and ethers said, 'We will hear thee again of this matter.' " Signora Dal Cin has dene a work of an amazing character during her year's resi dence in America, and she gees back te her Italian home carrying with her the grateful and affectionate memories of the hundreds whom a geed Providence has de livered into her hands. Her home is a pleasant cottage in the hamlet of Anzona, about three miles from Vitterio, a railway town eight or ten miles north of Cogneli Cegneli Cogneli ane, which is en the read between Masstra and Trieste. Dal Cin's heuse is pleasant ly situated en the mountain side, and she has enlarged it from its original dimensions for the accommodations of about twenty patients. I ler life has certainly been one of the most remarkable incident and achievinent. Few women or men have ever given fifty years of such unremit ting benefactions te the world under circumstances of such persistent opposition and disownment. A simple faitb in what she had done and could de, and a brave determination te de her heaven appointed work whether men would believe or net have carried her for ward en her life's mission, and are new gradually forcing upon the scientific world the unwelcome recognition of a dis covery in practical surgery as great and useful as any that has made the fame .of the most eminent celebrities of the profes sion. Practice has slowly made its way against prejudice. Demonstration is routing the established theories et the world of surgery. And for that profes sional conservatism that resists convic tion te the bitter end, and denies whatever is net taught in the books, it may be said as was said by Sisera of old : "The Lord shall sell thee into the hand of a woman." F.W. The old saying "opposition is the lite of business has net been sustained In one In stance at least.
