gan to see the human body as a
delicate machine. Here she OBJ
tanned, unknowingly. the knowledge
that was to prove so important in
evolving her world-famed treatment.
AS a nurse she saw what medical
practitioners had seer in such cases
since they first recognized infantile
paralysis as a separate disease. And
Miss Kenny's technical mind saw
more. 1t saw the affected muscles
as a series of levers, cables, pull
leys, an intricate mechanical sys-
tenn.
Something. she sensed, had gone
wrong with the mechanism Of mo-
ton in those twisted bodies. Limbs
refused to move.
A Discovery
Her examination disclosed that
while some muscles appeared to be
paralyzed, their opposing muscles
we're in spasm-the muscles were
contracting-resulting in excruciat-
ing pain. Later studies we're to
prove that this was a revolutionary
discovery.
Up to this time spastic muscles
never had been considered. or even
known, in the treatment Of infantile
paralysis.
Since these, were sick muscles,
Miss Kenny concluded they should
be treated. Heat therapy, she felt,
would bring relief.
After trying various kinds of heat
to ease pain, Miss Kenny finally nit
upon hot lamentations Chot medi-
cants) as the most effective. She dis
covered these brought almost in
slant relief from pain and, after sew
eral days, caused relaxations of the
affected muscles and disappearance
Of spasm.
When the pain had subsidized, Miss
Kenny made another startling dis
covery-that the apparently para
lyzed muscles were not actually
paralyzed at all but, because of the
disease, had lost their coordination
and ability to function normally. She
then tried retraining these muscles
to normal activity.
Movement Returns
For several months Miss Kenny
continued her treatments following
the theory she had discovered.
Stricken children gradually were
learning to use their arms and legs.
Before long they left their beds
They again became normal, robust
children able to romp and play.
And, best Of all, there were no
ugly deformities, no Gripping az
fects. no braces. Infantile paralysis
at last had met resistance.

ment to Australian and American

Like all parents IN tnlS

parents of this child consulted neigh
bors when their son became i'll seek
ing advice.
But neighbors shook their heads
helplessly. To them, as to the par
ents, this was a strange disease and
one that left frightening affects.
Doctors Not Available
There were no doctors to call upon
in this part Of Australians bush coun-
try, the medical needs of the 200
farmers and an assortment of pros
pectors and explorers being cared
for by a community nurse. BY force
of circumstances she was the medi-
cal adviser, midwife and consultant
for the entire population.
Only when her services were
sorely needed was she called upon
for her many duties in the seemingly
boundless wilderness she served
kept her constantly busy.
But despairing of their child's life
and unable to find other help in the
community, the parents called for
the nurse, Sister Elizabeth Kenny.
To Miss Kenny, too, the disease
was something new.
Immediately she telegraphed an
old friend, DR.. Aeneas j. Mcdonnell,
chief surgeon OF Toowoomba Gener-
al hospital in Queensland, and n Of
Australia's outstanding surgeons,
describing the symptoms and ask
ing his advice. This was the reply:
'INFANTILE PARALYSIS I.
NO KNOWN CURE DO BEST
YOU CAN"
Miss Kenny read the message and
handed it to the parents. Tears
welled in their eyes as they focused
on the helpless, pain-ravaged body
of their son.
New Burdens
But the nurse did not despair. Her
first move was to ease the pain OF
the suffering child.
Then new burdens fell on Miss
Kenny and a greater fear gripped
the community as five more children
we're struck down by the disease.
Six children now lay helpless,
faced with death or a future of gro
tesquely, deformed bodies.
Many Universities had been over.

Presented Wounded
Baltimore Sergeant

Wiedorfer. 24-year-old infantryman
from Baltimore who knocked out
two machine guns, killed three Ger
mans and captured 20 last Christ
mas day during the Nazi break
through into Belgium, sat up in a
hospital bed yesterday to receive the
Congressional Medal of Honor.
The presentation was made by
Brig. Gen. E. F. Koenig, commander
OF the United States Army's United
Kingdom base, in a ward at the
18th United States Army General
Hospital, where Wiedorfer is re-
covering from his second battle
wound.
He was cited for his daring
Christmas Day action which en-
abled his unit to advance toward
besieged Bastogne in the face of
fierce enemy opposition Gen.
Koenig stepped back and saluted
Wiedorfer after placed the medal
about his neck.
The citation said
Then a private, Wiedorfer was
advancing with his company across
an open clearing near Chaumont
when they were met by heavy ma
chine gun fire from two German
positions dug in at the woods edge
"Wiedorfer. realizing his platoon
could not advance until the enemy
machine guns were destroyed, VOL
unfairly charged alone, without pro-
tective cover of any kind.
"Miraculously escaping injury,
Wiedorfer reached point 10 yards
from the first machine gun en-
placement and hurled a grenade into
it, killing three men manning the
gun. Taking cover in the first en-
placement, he began to attack the
second position with his rifle. One
of the enemy was wounded by his
fire, and the other six Immediately
surrendered.
"A few minutes later, when his
platoon leader and sergeant were
wounded, Wiedorfer assumed COM
mand of the platoon and led it until
the mission was successfully accom-
plished.
Fourteen other German soldiers
who had witnessed the action from
a nearby woods decided they had
seen enough, and came out with
hands up to surrender to the Amer
lean private. Wiedorfer's COM
manding officer gave him an imme-
diate battlefield promotion to his
present rank.
