three years and this week new hope came into her life A machine a vital improvement in which has recently been ed in Baltimore is undergoing a series of with Anne as the patient which may bring hope for recovery of the use of her limbs remarkable story of how a Electric chemical engineer confronted with a problem of im- proving an existing apparatus sc that it could be used for this pose invented what apparently is now a basic patent in thirty utes study was told by officials of the Children's Hospital School where the tests are being con- ducted Aid Circulation The idea of the new treatment for infantile paralysis victims is to provide artificial stimulation of circulation of blood to legs or arms which have been paralyzed the fresh blood coursing through veins and arteries giving the muscles an improved tone and eventually aiding these muscles and nerve fibers in resuming their normal functions Whether this will be depends on the result of the present experiments But the chine with its new improvement has so far actually accomplished the following 1 It has restored normal warmth to the ordinarily cold ex- commonly noted in limbs affected by infantile paralysis On Boy 2 It was used with remarkable success in the case of Glenn dan Minnesota boy whose feet were frost bitten fiom living trapped for 11 days in the refrigerator compartment of a box car 3 It has proven itself unusually efficacious in the treatment of un- fractures broken bones which for some reason have not been able to grow together ly The machine originally known as the Machine was ed by a Baltimore Mont associated with the Cincinnati General Hospital ing with his associate Dr L G Herman the apparatus was It consists of a boot or com- airtight into which the leg of patient is introduced In the original machine the union of tha leg and the boot was made perfect by means of a strap ened about the thigh until there no escape of air Inside the boot a minus sure of air or a partial vacuum was created and this had the lect of to the arteries and capillaries thus feeding fresh nutriment to vessels which had not been getting the proper supply This pressure was then reversed and a plus pressure exerted which had the effect of forcing this blood back into the body through the out of the leg into normal veins which could carry it back to the lungs and heart for purification and to start its journey anew Strap A Difficulty The insuperable difficulty was that the tight strap which kept the airtight acted as a partial not permitting the veins to perform their full function in taking the blood back into the body Realizing that this was of hindrance to its use in in- paralysis cases where the restoration of perfect circulation is paramount experts at the dren's Hospital School among them H O Kendall the physical had striven unceasingly to find another method to make the machine airtight without exerting this pressure on the limb where it entered the apparatus Finally a Western Electric cial learning of the problem I'll turn it over to my and let them work on it In 30 Minutes Among those to whom the lem was given was Alvin Nelson On Page E fl R C E The regular
