2l3 PERSONS EXAMINED
AT ORTHOPEDIC CLINIC
Is Largest Number Ever To At
tend; Doctors George E. Ben
nett and C. o. Eaton In Charge
MANY NEW CASES APPEAR

The semi-annual orthopedic clinic
conducted here last Wednesday and
Thursday went cover the top" insofar
as number of cases is concerned, 213
persons having been examined during
that time by DR.. George E. Bennett
and DR.. George o. Eaton, Baltimore
bone specialists.
Cases ranging from infants in arms
and children of various ages to adults,
all suffering from some form Of phys
ical handicap, many cases being due
to infantile paralysis, some from in
juries at birth and some from acci-
dents.
Assisting DR.. Bennett and DR.. Eat
on were members of the health office
staff in the county, and Mr.. and Mrs.
H. o. Kendall, directors of physio-
therapy service at Children's Hospital
School and Kernan's Hospital School,
Baltimore.
The treatment for anterior poliomy-
Tits (infantile paralysis) is just be-
ing recognized, according to Mr.. Ken
dali, who has been carrying on the
service for nineteen years and during
the last four years has been assisted
by Mrs. Kendall. The disease attacks
the nerve cells of the anterior bone re-
gion of the spinal chord, where large
motor cells are located. The work of
physiotherapy treatment, according to
Mr. Kendall, is directed toward build
ing up the muscles so as to make the
patient self-supporting. Massage is
only one form of the treatment, which
includes the examination of the mus
cles to determine the amount of par
alysis. Massaging and exercising in
this county is under the direction of
Miss Grace Jones.
New Cases Brought to Light
A number of new cases were re-
ceived, many of which had been dis
covered from time to time by the
health nurses as they travel through
the county. Other cases were due to
accidents, congenital deformities and
other causes. Those who need special
attention will be sent to Baltimore for
treatment.
Dr. H. r. DuPuy, recently appointed
health officer here, expressed his sur
prise at the small number of braces
seen on the patients. 1t was explained
that DR.. Bennett, in his program, was
getting away from braces as much as
possible, laying stress on each individ-
uaIs power to develop the injured or
diseased part of the body by exercise
to the point where braces were unnec-
essary.
DR.. DuPuy stated that Garrett was
a pioneer county in orthopedic work
and that wonderful results had been
and is being accomplished here to cor
rect bodies of their ailments.
The Oakland Civic Club which as
sists materially in the orthopedic
work in the county, gave a luncheon
last Thursday at the home of Mrs.
Harry White for visiting physicians
and others in charge. Seventeen per-
sons attended the luncheon.

crazy about singing and music. =.
But, different from Sally Clark,
he can really sing (but not for
money, just for fun) But many

for fun do it better than people
who do it seriously .. Anyway,
it's in the Schiffeler family to be

(who was former Miss Wood, of
one of the most aristocratic Vir-
ginian families) plays the piano,
and the two kids are studying and
already composing music . You
should listen to Colonel Schiffeler's

know how he can sing!
