patients who are now on the road to health
and who worship the very ground she walks
on And l talked with the courageous
physicians who are at last giving her the
chance to prove TO the medical world that
the Kenny treatment may be the answer to
the prevention of GRIPPING deformities.
Why call physicians courageous simply be-
cause they permit Sister Kenny TO demon
strate her method of polio aftercare? Simply
because it seems very doubtful TO the medical
profession as a whole that nurse who began
her treatment in far-of Australia some so
years ago-and in the hinterland where there
was no doctor within 100 miles-could make
a significant contribution to the knowledge
about infante paralysis.
Many skeptical doctors cannot yet bring
themselves 10 think that, for they recall how
battling infantile paralysis is; how it's very
origin and method of transmission are yet
unknown.
To break down this conservatism of the
medical profession (Which has been fooled
on occasions by claims of remarkable discov-
cries. takes courage. That is why Sister
Kenny is crusader She has been battling
TO prove her point for years.
And that is Why the doctors who are now
backing her have courage Yet this cour-
age someday may be acknowledged through
out the world along with the courage Of Pas
tour and other pioneers in the forefront Of
medical discovery
If 1t seems impossible that Sister Kenny
can contribute 10 the treatment Of infantile
paralysis then Sister Kenny is truly doing
the impossible at Minneapolis General
Hospital.
She has taken little children so paralyzed
that they must live in iron lungs'-the arti-
fetal respiretors-re removed them from the
lungs" and had them breathing normally
without IT, Doctors told her she would kill the
patients If she did this, but these children
are now up and about and some Of them are
home and Will go back TO school.
She has taken children who have received
months and even years OF orthodox treatment
with splints and braces-yet still were Grip
pled-and restored them 10 health and dimin-

Science Editor, The American Weekly

A NEW and revolutionary treatment for
infante paralysis is now being tested
and demonstrated 10 doctors in Mime
apolis in experiments that well may 60 down
as historic in the annals of American medicine.
known as the Kenny treatment, after
Sister Elizabeth Kenny who invented the
method while a nurse in the Australian bush"
country the new system is extremely simple
and yet it brings remarkable recoveries from
GRIPPING deformites, and il brings relief from
the distressing pain which is a symptom Of the
acute, early stages Of this cruel disease.
To bring the full and complete facts on
this treatment for infantile paralysis 10
its readers The American Weekly sent me
TO Minneapolis TO talk with Sister Kenny
her patients and the doctors with whom she
is working
In her quiet apartment near the University
of Minnesota. / talked with this remarkable
woman who someday may go down in medical
history along with Madame Curie, Florence
Nightingale and Clara Barton and the other
women who have left their mark in treating
the sick
It takes only a glance and few words TO
realize that Sister Kenny is a crusader, a
woman with a mission. Tall and erect this
Australian nurse has gray bobbed head
atop a square rugged jaw that marks the
fighter whether that fight be in a prize
ring. in war or in the battle of medicines
conquest Of disease.
And Sister Kenny believes she has a mis-
sion. TO bring relief 10 stricken little VIC
TINS Of infantile paralysis and 20 bring them
back strong, straight bodies
Now past so, Sister Kenny is striving TO
convince the medical profession Of the United
States that her method is the preferable way
20 save polio victims from all-too-often
lifetime Of deformity. Doctors who have seen
her work say she has good chance Of realiz-
ing her goal 10 which she has devoted a life
time Of service without a penny Of personal
profit
In Minneapolis 1 not only talked with
Sister Kenny. l talked with her youthful

softly. Sister Kenny explains that the symp-
toms seem to be those of Gread infantile
paralysis, but that she must telegraph to the
doctors 100 miles away to see what they think.
The hours past. Finally the Geographic
reply comes back. They tear open the envelop
and read:
Case appears to be infantile paralysis No
known cure. Carry on as you are
Mrs Williamson is frantic. What shall
we do, Sister kenny"
II haven't splints. braces or other things,
Mrs. Williamson, but 1 think l can help"
please do. Help in any way you can"
IT must warn you that this is my own
method"
YOUR METHODS"
yes. this is my own treatment. The usual
thing is 10 consider the muscles as dead and
so doctors bind the afflicted parts in rigid
splints and braces and try TO prevent muscle
injury which would lead TO deformities do
not believe that this is quite true. My treat
ment comes from an idea and some experience
90. not much but some"
But does your method work...I must
know If IT works"
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-08-17

Through the Premier Sister Kenny received
several hundred patients 10 work upon and re-
stored half of them to a normal life. The
other half showed great improvement. While
Australian doctors still doubted the drastic
removal of splnts and braces. they admitted
that she could do remarkable things with
patients of long-standing deformities out
of her work some eight clinics are now estab-
lshed In Australia where 1000 patients are
today receiving treatment
In Minneapolis l talked with young IS
year-old Bob Quincy who has recently been
discharged from Minneapolis General Hos
pital after IL months of treatment under Sis
ter Kenny.
Young Bob whose picture is on this page,
is one of the happiest boys in the world and
for just cause. Last August he was stricken
with infantile paralysis and so paralyzed that
he could only move his eyes. / ask Bob what
the Kenny treatment was like and what he
thought of Sister Kenny
shes the most wonderful woman in the
world" he exclaimed

tuberculosis Should
Be Checked At Start
Disease Is Much Less of a Mem
ace When 1t Can Be Checked
in Early Stages

early discovery - early recovery"
will be the underlying motive of the
tuberculosis clinics that will be held
throughout the country during April
in connection with the annual Find
the early case" campaign of the Ma
tional tuberculosis Association. Chest
clinics will be held as usual during the
month throughout Maryland for the
examination of persons-young or old
who show signs of the disease or
who have been in contact with it and
special efforts will be made, as al
ways, at these clinics to discover early
indications of the disease so that rem
edial measures may be started with
out delay.
Pointing out that tuberculosis is
much less of a menace when it can be
checked at the start and that every
case of tuberculosis is caught from
some other case, DR.. R. H. Riley, di-
rector of the State Department of
Health, said, "For long time the in
dividual who has picked up the infec-
ton may give no outward sign of the
disease and an X-ray examination is
necessary to show that the germ that
causes tuberculosis has established it
self in the system. The earlier the dis
covery, the greater the possibility of
cure or control.
tuberculosis is no respecter of
persons and every age group is sus-
ceptible to it. But it takes its heaviest
toll among young people-boys and
girls still at school, young men and
young women just reaching maturity,
fathers and mothers with youngsters
depending upon them. Very often the
infection is of long standing and has
remained quiescent until some illness
or long continued strain broke down
the individuals power of resistance
and the disease has developed.
"The chest clinics held throughout
the counties of Maryland have been of
'inestimabe benefit to thousands of
Ma1ylanders. They are maintained
under the joint auspices of the State
Department of Health and the Mary
land tuberculosis Association and are
made possible largely through funds
derived from the sale of the Christ
mas seals. The X-ray outfits that are
such an important part of the clinic
equipment come largely from that
source, also.
"The clinics are held monthly, or
oftener, in some counties. Three hun
dred and twenty-five clinics were held
in 1910; over $500 persons were ex-
amined at them and 1859 x-rays were
taken, 954 of which showed the pres
ence of the disease. Advice in regard
to the necessary care is part Of the
clinic procedure.
"The clinics are free and are for all
age groups. The arrangements in each
county are under the charge of the
county health officer Clinics here are
held the second Wednesday in each
month. The next clinic is scheduled
for April in the health office, court
house.
