:25:00
Good night, Babs.
:25:33
A clinical situation
:25:35
where the radicular,
or nerve root
:25:37
is compressed by the prolapsed disk
is referred to...
:25:40
- So sorry, we're late!
- Good afternoon.
:25:43
You're sure this worked
on 27th Street?
:25:45
It seemed to
at the time.
:25:47
- Eleanor Roosevelt.
- Excuse me?
:25:50
Niece of the late President
Theodore Roosevelt,
:25:52
and this is my husband
Franklin,
:25:54
former Assistant
Secretary of the Navy.
:25:56
Thank you, Dr. Bissell
for giving us a few minutes.
:25:59
It is so
generous of you.
:26:01
My husband, as many
of you may have read...
:26:04
This will take one moment.
Thank you so much.
:26:06
Thank you so much.
My husband,
:26:08
as many of you may have read,
is a victim of polio.
:26:11
However victim is
only a definition,
:26:13
not a state of mind.
Franklin.
:26:16
I will be brief.
As we all know,
:26:17
poor circulation is a chronic problem
for limbs damaged by polio.
:26:22
I myself have only been able to swim for
a few moments without getting too cold.
:26:26
But there is a place,
gentlemen,
:26:28
a miraculous place
not three hours from here
:26:31
where the water is filled
with natural minerals
:26:34
and at a temperature
of almost 90ยบ.
:26:38
That place, gentlemen,
:26:40
- is called Warm Springs.
- Franklin...
:26:43
- And... and as a result...
- Sorry.
:26:45
...of the work undertaken there,
it is our contention
:26:48
that muscles weakened
by infantile paralysis
:26:51
can regain much needed strength
with warm water therapy.
:26:56
And at a truly
significant rate.
