If we could say a prayer pictures...
no words could say our prayer as well as the small
face of two-year-old Mary Beth Pyron.
This lovely child — shown here with her mother —
was born with a crippling defect of the spine. She is one
of the 250.000 American babies born each year with con¬
genital malformations. Think of it! — one out of every 16
American babies!
Through the March of Dimes, you helped science
find the way to stop crippling by polio.
Now the XEW March of Dimes will help science
find the way to stop crippling birth defects — the tragedy
no one has wanted to face!
By giving to the NEW March of Dimes you can help
save America’s children from birth defects, just as they
are being sa\ed today from crippling by polio.

Combatting On-The-Job Ailments ■:«N
Almost as much time is lost from work through sickness and injury as
is given to yearly vacations—an average of nearly ten working days, or
two weeks, per person. This startling statistic is the result of a survey
among industrial workers reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
It is just one illustration of how costly common work ailments are in
and dollars lost.
In charge of finding the answer
to these painful questions are special the
industrial physicians. held At New a York
conference by the
State Society of Industrial Medi¬
cine, the three most common on-
the-job ailments named were shoul¬
der injury, back pain, and headache.
All these conditions have one
thing in common —pain. The phy¬
sicians agreed that pain relief is the
first step, primarily through use of
analgesic or “pain killing” drugs
such as aspirin, codeine and others.
One new drug was reported to
the conference as a real help in
healing injured muscles. It is a
synthetic compound called Soma,
which is both an analgesic and a
muscle relaxant. It was found par¬
ticularly valuable in easing pain
caused by muscle spasm—the con¬
traction and stiffening of muscles
that follow injury’. In many cases,
the spasm becomes the major cause
of pain from sprains, bruises, etc.
Here is how Soma and other
treatments are used:
• Shoulder pain. Dr. Robert
Fransway, Ford Motor Company’s
Wayne, Michigan, plant, said at
the conference that with Soma,
‘‘patients thought they were more
comfortable at night and slept with¬
out being disturbed by pain.” He
added that muscle relaxants can
prevent “frozen shoulder,” a con¬
dition often seen among workers.

"It is my hope, the County
Chairman continued, “that all
Georgians will respond in the
.merest of over 200.000 disab¬
led children and adults during
Easter Seal month."
Approximately 90 percent of
the funds raised remains in
Georgia to f nance rehabilita¬
tion services for the crippled.
The remainder helps support a
national program of direct ser¬
vice, education and research.
The Easter Seal Society na¬
tionwide has fought crippling
for 39 years.

• Low-back pain. Dr. Kalman
Frankel, neurologist at Jefferson
Medical College, Philadelphia, rec¬
ommends bed “conservative therapy’:’*
rest on a firm mattress or bed-
board, and heat through baths,
lamps “Soma and diathermy machines.
is very effective in decreas¬
ing paravertibral muscle spasm and
the associated back pain,” he said.
• Headache. Diagnosis of type of
headache is essential, according to
Dr. Arnold P. Friedman, Monte-
fiore Hospital, New York. The ten¬
sion kind, caused in part by tight¬
ened muscles in the back of the
neck, may respond to muscle re¬
laxants, tranquilizers and analge¬
sics. Migraine, which results from
enlarged blood vessels in the head
pressing against sensitive nerve end¬
ings, requires a drug that will reduce
the diameter of brain blood vessels.
