WONDERFUL GIFT.
CURE FOR PARALYSIS. Sister Elizabeth Kenny, the Australian nurse who refused £20,000 for the secret of a treatment for infantile paralysis, and made a free gift of it last year to the Commonwealth Government, has agreed to her treatment being extended to London. A London clinic is to be financed by the parents of one of her patients. Two specially trained nurses will leave Sydney shortly to make the necessary arrangements. The treatment is described as an almost certain cure for paralysis. Inquiries have proved that patients treated by Sister Kenny's methods have all shown improvement, and in many instances complete cures. Medical authorities all over the world have followed her methods. The Commonwealth and Queensland Governments, after conducting investigations, officially recognised the treatment, and an "Elizabeth Kenny" Clinic was opened last January in the Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney. Sister Kenny nursed meningitis sufferers in troopships during the war, and perfected her system after completing her studies on paralysis.
