Kenny Treatment
Still Most Effective
Polio Safeguard

Pointing out that "a OF 96 polio
patients admitted to Elizabeth
Kenny Institute during August
were from Minneapolis, Newton
r. DashielI Jr., this week urged
local volunteer workers to re-
double their efforts to make or
surpass the quota in this years
annual polio fund appeal Of the
Sister Elizabeth Kenny Founda-
ton.
The Kenny campaign will end in
Hennepin county on September 20,
birthday anniversary date Of the
late Sister Elizabeth Kenny, ac-
ocrding to Dashiell, Hennepin
county volunteer co-chairman in
charge Of Minneapolis solicitation.
Although scientists are making
hopeful progress toward produc-
ing a vaccine which will prevent
polio, the Kenny treatment offers
the most effective means Of safe
guarding victims of the disease
from its Gripping after-effects."
Dashiell said. Meanwhile, until
scientists perfect the vaccine and
il is available in the quantities
that will be needed to protect the
general public, polio remains
local and national health menace,
Contributions will help the
Kenny Foundation TO continue to
provide the famed Kenny treat
ment for polio to victims Of the
disease. TO train registered nurses
and physical therapists to become
Kenny Therapists. and TO continue
its sponsorship Of research and
medical seminars.
