Salisbury, July 11—The baby clinic and examination of crippled children which was put on four days during the present week was a great success and far beyond the expectation of Dr. C.W. Armstrong, Rowan county and city health officer.
An average of 50 children were examined each day, and some had to be turned away. Friday, which was crippled children’s day, there were 79 crippled children examined by Dr. O.L. Miller of the orthopaedic hospital, Gastonia. A number of these children will be given treatment at the hospital at once but some were found to be beyond aid so far as remedying defects.
