: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.
