Sister Kenny places a patient flat on his back on a firm mattress which does not quite reach to the footboard of his bed. The patient's feet, with heels and toes stretching beyond the mattress, are set squarely against the footboard. Thus he exercises the muscular reflexes used for standing up. His arms are kept at his side, his knees straight. No splints or casts are used. Hot packs made of pieces of blanket wrung out of boiling water are laid on his paralyzed limbs. The packs are usually changed every two hours, every half hour in very...

In the rear, a couple of muscular orthopedists patiently kneaded the spines of lopsided patients, naked except for brief trunks.

Of these, 30 were given the natural vitamin in wheat-germ oil; 20 were given a concentrate of the vitamin. Of all the cases, 48 were "completely relieved." The synthetic vitamin, reported Dr. Steinberg, is better than wheat-germ oil, for the latter is hard to stomach. Vitamin E, said the doctor, is "a great fat preserver," and perhaps helps to grease connective tissue, the way Vitamin A helps to keep smooth and moist the mucous tissues of the body...
