dread disease last summer are many, and
not ell have parents who can afford to
drive them to and from the hospitals for
treatment. The precious kiddies are much
too heavy for their mothers to carry, so
Gocarts will solve the problem. Tricycles,
too, are of great value because they bring
into play all the muscles that have been
paralyzed, and the motion of the tricycle.,
1t is said, is the very best exercise for the
little legs.
Take another peep into your attic or
