Health and
Beauty
Helring The Polio Patient-No. l
DR.. Sophia Brunson

Don't you remember reading a
story many years ago about a man
who was condemned to the galleys :?
These slaves were chained in the
lower part of the vessels which they
had to row.
This man was very intelligent. He
was prince. His name was Ben Hur.
He knew that by always sitting on
the same side, and rowing with one
arm, he would develop the muscles
on the used side while the other side
that was not exercised would atrophy
or waste away from disuse He man
aged to change sides from day to
day. When finally he was released
from the galley, he had powerful
wen-developed body.
A modern physician noticed one
of his paralyzed polio patients whose
neck muscles were weak, twisting
her head to the left in order to see
the radio He began studying her
neck muscles and decided to change
the radio to the right side of her
bed. She was thus unconsciously
started on the road to recovery
through exercise.
Nine years have gone by since
then, and this girl, "a years old, is a
staff physiotherapist at hospital
for special surgery. She is helping
polio victims to conquer paralysis.
Her name is Joan Smith. She had
polio in September, 1889. She was
put into an iron lung for a week.
This kept her living and strengthened
her breathing muscles. Beginning
with turning her head to listen to
the radio, Joan was started on the
road to Welville 1t was not easy
travelling and required much patience
and perseverance.
Joan's muscles were stretched and
exercised gently to bring back their
power. They were relaxed with heat
and hot packs. She began exercising
in the pool at the hospital for special
polio patients. The water was warm
and comforting. This made it easier
to exercise muscles, especially when
weakened by disease. When in bed,
splints were put on her arms and legs
to prevent contractions and deformi-
ties.
In 1910 she was sent to Warm
Springs, Georgia as a patient of the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis. At Warm Springs they put
her in splints again. She wore cor
set and braces on her shoulders. This
corset counteracted tendency to
curvature of the spine.
AS soon as she could use her hands
sufficiently, she began knitting and
weaving to exercise her hands and
arms. She also studied two school
subjects.
She went to Warm Springs in
January and by May was in wheel
chair.

LOUlSA'S LETTER

Dear Louisa:
Mama has been i'll for a long time
and it looks as if she is never going |
to get well, although she isn't very
! i'll at this time. My sister has also
been to the hospital for an operation !
but is at home now. She and Mama
are unable to wait on themselves.
l am a young girl sixteen years
of age and I like school very much
and I don't want to quit. l have !
eleven sisters and brothers. I am the
middle child and I am in the tenth
fgrade at school. l have gone farther
! than any of the other children and
l wanted to be the first to graduate.
Still | think | am needed at home
very bad.
All the girls Of my age are getting
jobs in mills and there are hardly
any left around here. l said l would
quit school and help around home
until they are we'll if they would let
me get a job but Daddy says l am
too young.
| have been out two weeks but
could start back and do what I can
before and after school.
BUTCH-NC c.
Answer:
Keep on with your school. l am
sure that you will find that it will
pay you bigger dividends in the long
run although the present prospect is
not rosy one.
To begin with, don't see why one
girl, who has so many sisters and
}brothers, should be expected to take
over the whole burden of the house
work.
Why can't all of them or those
, who are at home divide up the work
so that it will not be tremendous
: burden on any one Even the sister
who has been operated on should
. soon be able to help with simple
, work such as mending or work that
, can be done without strain.
Of course, if circumstances are
such that your mother will suffer
actual neglect while you are away,
it may be wise to stop school for
