WARM SPRINGS PROJECT.
(Continued from First Page.)
the muscles of the paralyzed arms
or legs or body. They must see that
as little contraction as possible takes
place. The tragedy is they con do
nothing until after the paralysis has
set in.
The waters at Warm Springs and
the waters of the pools which are es
tablished in many cities for treat
ment, have no curative value in
themselves. They merely make pos
sible a superior exercise of paralyzed
muscles.
All this explains why President
Roosevelt has determined that with
out delay the people must recognize
this as a national problem.
Warm Springs and the Foundation
are located in Georgia. Georgia is the
president’s second home. It is, there
fore, fitting for Georgia to give him
this gift of leading the way in a na
tional campaign to endow the Warm
Springs Foundation.
Success in the campaign will as
sure that there will be no slacking in
experienments; that there will be
complete tests of serums and vac
cines; that the tests already made in
epidemics of the past few years will
be further cheeked and analyzed; that
in the future trained men will come
to each community to combat the ap
pearance of epidemic.
It is truly a campaign for a great
humanitarian cause, and every fath
er and mother and every citizen and
business firm of the state will have
an opportunity to take part in what
should be the victory over this dread
terror of infantile paralysis.
Within a few days the drive will
begin. The Birthday Balls for the
president, to be held on his birthday,
Tan. 30, will provide some funds. But
he great part of the money must
come from patriotic citizens who
wish to help make the future safer
for themselves and the future citi
zens who are to come after them.
