MAJ. RORERG MAKES
NAME FOR SELF
Maj. O. T. Roberg. brother of Ir.
Roberg, prominent Portland physician
and health authority, and Philin Ru
berg, of Hood River, has been making
a narnt' for himself at the Port Sam
Housto.i Army Hospital. According to
word just receive I by Wju. Hamann, a
friend of Maj. Roberg, the latter has
jiiMt left for Chicago for a visit w ith
his family, lie has been transferred
to For t Sheridan.
Mr. Hamann has received a clip
ping trom a San Antonio, Jex., paper
in high praise of Maj. Roberg. The
article in part follows:
'Maj. Roberg is one of a small
group t physicians who, under gov
eminent direction, have complete Iv
revolutionized the treatment of leri-
nheral nerve injuries, a common result
f battle wounds, and the result has
been that thousands of American boys
have been prevented from losing ttie
use of important members of their
bodies.
"The most important of their dis
coveries were made in experimental
surgical work conducted in the labora
tory of Prof. G. C. liuber at Ann Ar
bur, Mich., where Maj. Roberg worked
for four months after he entered gov
ernment service about a year ago.
Among the developments of his ex
lerinients was the fact that nerves
from a young calf or a dog may be
aftel in the human system to till a
gap, even in one ot the important mo
tor nerves, controlling the llexibility
of a member, and that these animal
nerves may be kept in cold storage or
nreserved with chemicals for several
weeks or more, and then be successful
ly used in a human body. It was also
found that to till a gap in a motor
nerve, a section of a sensory nerve,
not important in controlling motion,
lOiild be taken from another part of
the body and used in restoring; action
and feeling in the injured member.
Maj. Roberg ha not had to resort to
the u-e of animal nerves in many of
his oi.tratioi.s at Fort Sam Houston.
"In civil life Maj. Roberg is chief
surgeon at the Swedish Covenant Hos-
nit il in Chicago. He is a graduate of
Rush Me, lical College."
