One of the first things that strike the observer in
connection with the program of the Rockefeller Found
ton is its simple and yet aembracng character Pub

The endowment of the foundation is not limited to the
original hundred million dollars Provision is made to
receive and maintain additional funds, real and per-
sonal property, only restricted by the State of
New York through its legislative acts This in brief is
the answer to the problem on which MIR. Rockefeller
began work as long ago 1895 His great fortune is
practically nationalzed and perhaps not until century
has elapsed will the world be able to comprehend the
tremendous benefits that must follow the step.
Already it is possible realize family what immense
value the labors of the Rockefeller Medical Institute

scourge that had left its blight countless homes

been confined to New York. few months ago the

More marvellous, perhaps has been the discovery by
the institution this last year Of the germ of nfante
paralysis. This deadly disease epidemic in New

New York the Hospital for Deormities and Joint Dis
