under different circumstances,
but in general a unit of insulin
burns up about four calories.
Diabetes is never cured and
for that reason it is never pos

in the course of time tolerance is
improved and it is possible to

Newest Idea
On Treating
Polio Studied
Kenny Method Holds
Hope for Recovery
BY DIR. LOGAN CLENDENIN(

NV wv yeoao ubO Hh'o
"A Elizabeth Kenny of Brisbane.
Australia, came to America 10
present her method of treating
infantile paralysis.
The idea behind the method,
as pointed out in this column
several times, was early at
tention to muscle spasm, first by
the use OF moist heat and then
by movements of the affected
muscles.
The principal point OF de-
parture between this method
and the ones employed by most
orthopedic surgeons heretofore
is in the abandonment of splints
and casts in the early stage.
Miss Kenny has been working
In the United States for two
years In recognized clinics and
the reports Of her work have
just been published.
The report states that the
patients treated have all made
a far more satisfactory re-
covery than they would have
made by any previously known
method.
No deformities have occurred
In spite of the complete omission
OF splinting.
TT is unfortunate that the
L newspaper reports to the
public have so often used the
word cure" in relation to the
Kenny treatment.
1t is not a cure in the sense
that il is guaranteed TO pre-
vent any possible paralysis fol-
lowing a severe case of infantile
paralysis.
What it does do Is to reduce
the deformities, which are
sequel of the disease, to a
minimum.
In order to explain what Is
meant by spasm, it must be
remembered that every part of
the body, every joint, has two
sets of muscles which work
antagonistically.
For instance. you have a set
OF muscles which raise your
wrist and one which pulls it
down.
Now il in an attack of in
fantile paralysis one of these
sets of muscles is paralyzed,
the other will, by going into
spasm, pull the joint awry and
perhaps result in a permanent
paralysis.
MISS KENNY'S idea Is to
'A calm these muscles down.
first by the application of moist
heat and then by moving the
muscles gently, try TO restore
as much natural balance as
possible.
No one should expect, even
with this treatment, that every
case will come out without any
paralysis at all.
The following words are those
OF an experienced physician who
has watched the Kenny method
in operation.
Paralysis Is unfortunately n
feature of the disease, but
paralysis proved after all to be
a minor consideration I'm most
cases Of infantile paralysis.
Muscle spasm and inco-ordi-
nation are far more damaging
TO the bodily mechanics.
Tho Kenny method when
properly applied will reduce the
Gripping effects of the disease
of infantile paralysis.
"Within the limits Of the
present knowledge and means
of treatment of the disease IL
offers the patient the maximum
assurance Of recovery and re-
storation OF function of his
motor system. Deformities have
been outlawed."
/ KNOW that great many
L orthopedic surgeons are visit
ing the Kenny clinic at the
present time in order TO see for
themselves the methods en-
ployed and the effects of treat
ment.
All that I have talked to agree
that il is an enormous advance
in the prevention of .atrophy, de-
formity Of muscles, the rapidity
of recovery and the extent of
recovery.
