THE BENEVOLENT ARM

The President Birthday cele-
bration, January 20, is eagerly
awaited by unfortunate victims
Of infantile paralysis. Your par
ticipation, together with that of
the many other loyal Americans,
will mean definite assistance to
them. Funds raised will go to
support the newly created Nation
al Foundation for infantile para
lysis instead of the Warm Springs
Georgia Foundation. This new
organization has formulated a
broad-gauged educational CAM
paign and will carry on intensive
investigations and research stu
dies with the hope of discovering
more effective medical weapons
for treatment and care.
The Committee for the Celebra-
ton of the Presidents Birthday
asks that everyone take a perso-
nal interest in the fight being
waged against poliomyelitis and
to support to the fullest the eff
forts made to bring it under con-
troll. Anticipated treatment me-
thods or downright neglect are
responsible for many thousands
of crippled and powerless bod
les. Worst of all, however. is the
damage wrought by non-medical
individuals, who even 90 so far
as to advertise that they can cure
the disease and prevent crippling.
The Disappointing consequences
are twisted, helpless bodies that
might have had some chance if
they had sought medical care in
the early stages of the disease.
An admirable step was taken
in Mississippi in July 1887, when
a temporary clinic was establish
ed to give proper care to suffer-
ers of poliomyelitis in its early
stages. Because Of its very great
service, provision should be made
for a permanent clinic, and the
new National Foundation can be
of great help to the State in max
ing such provision. Mississippi
had 1873 reported cases and %
deaths in 1886; and during eleven
months of 1887 there were 1856
reported cases of which 239 were
