Mr. Editor:
Will you please give me space in your paper to say a few words in regard to my treatment at the N.C. Orthopaedic Hospital at Gastonia? I think they are doing a gret work for crippled children. That is one way this State is putting its money to a great advantage to help humanity. I went there Nov. 11th, 1924 with a cub foot, and returned Feb. 4th, 1925 with my foot straight, and now it looks like any other person’s foot. I was there only two months, three weeks and two days. It does not seem possible in that length of time that so much could have been accomplished.
I wish to say to all parents who are thinking of sending children there to rest assured they will be well taken care of, and all done for them that can be done. The nurses are very nice and kind to children. I wish to thank Mrs. Smith and Miss Bessie Daniel for all their efforts in helping me in going. I wish to say their help was highly appreciated. May God bless each and every one.
