Polio Prevention
Study Carried
On This Summer
The following information was
received by Cecil Carr, chairman,
Cottle-King Chapter Infantile
Paralysis, from Mrs. R. O. Pear-
ison, Texas State Adviser on Wo-
men’s Activities National Foun-
dation for Infantile Paralysis,
Abilene, in regard to the polio
prevention study:
“You are no doubt aware of
;the polio prevention tests being
carried on this summer under
the direction of Dr. Wm. McD.
Hammon of the Graduate School
of Public Health, of the Univer-
sity of Pittsburgh. The study is
endeavoring to settle the ques-
tion of whether or not an injec-
tion of Gamma Globulin will
prevent permanent paralysis
from poliomyelitis. The supply
of of this blood fraction was
furnished by the- Red Cross and
the bills, amounting to approxi-
mately one million dollars, are
being paid by the March of
Dimes.

lose speed because of lack of
volunteer help. This is remark-
able when you know that each
of the eight clinics in. Houston
and five in Sioux City required
from 15 to 30 volunteers every
four hours. In Sioux City, be-
cause of the increased aige range
it was necessary to request men
volunteers at the injection ta-
bles. The Sioux City Air Base re-
sponded by sending all the boys
we needed. They were wonder-
ful help, and more than once
their strong backs and arms were
necessary, for some of the injec-
tees were reluctant volunteers.
Policemen and firemen and a
few men were always on hand,
and, of course, the participation
of the local doctors was a neces-
sity,
“Parents frofn all walks of life
of financial and cultural levels
brought their children to take
part in this study, even though
they knew it was necessary that
half the children receive a sub-
stitute for the GG. In order that
a comparable control group be
made available for study, they
brought more than 33,000 be-
tween th’fe ages of one and six
in Houston, and approximately
15,000 fro|n one to eleven in
Sioux City., They were anxious
to cooperate in every, way pos-
sible to the extent that they

which writes, a brand new page
in methods of medical research.
You will be proud to know that
the education and service pro-
grams of the National Founda-
tion paid off in a big way, but
we found hundreds who still
need to be informed.
“It is impossible for me to tell
you now all the interesting and
humorous things that happened
during these studies, though I
do hope to have that opportunity
later. Be watching for an an-
nouncement of the outcome from
the University of Pittsburgh
sometime this winter. In the'
meantime; you will want to in-
form the people of your county
about their share in this ex-
tremely important undertaking.”
