INFANTILE PARALYSIS CURE.
A “walking cure” for infantile paralysis is giving most excellent resuits at the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children, 'London. Under the old system a child was kept in bed and massage and electricity wore used to keep the muscles from wasting. Now, through a splint made of non-inflammable material of extreme lightness and strength perfected by Dr. Batten, of the hospital, the children are taught to walk as soon as pain of the seizure is over. The weight of the body (adds the Dally Mail) is supported in a kind of crawling chair. The paralysed muscles suffer a minimum of wasting, and the injured nerves regain power rapidly.
