shrieking that we were trying to steal
his child, snatched the baby and ran
into the house.

in Twentieth Street we picked up two
policemen, who went with us through

"With seven babies lying on cots in

tenement in Twenty-seyenth street TO
get the baby there. One of the police
men held the father downstairs, while
tfe other slipped up behind the mother
and snatched the baby. She pursued
him, sobbing and shrieking, and neigh

from every tenement, some OF them

Not the least serious feature OF the
endemic is the fact that Of the thou
sand or more babies lying helpless on
their cots, only about . or 3 per cent
will ever become self-supporting. The
condition Of some Of the children may
be relieved by orthopedic appliances
and by the transportation OF muscle
tendons by surgical procedure,-out
such appliances and such surgical op..
erations are rarely within the reach OF
the children of the tenements.
In the majority of cases the disease
attacks the spinal column Of the child,
and from there it may spread to the
brain. and the baby may go from the
hospital either hopeless idiot or with
a pronounced brain disturbance. Or

Hospital in Brooklyn, the ma jority arr,
