Oxygen Lessens
Polio Fatilities
Indianapolis, Nov. 8 UP) The
death rate of infantile paralysis
victims gi v e n early oxygen
treatment at Riley hospital has
been only about half the nation
al average, hospital authorities'
reported today.
Evidence is this must be due
to a great extent to oxygen
treatment, said Dr. Donald J.
Casely, medical director of Indi
ana university medical center
which supervises the hospital.
The hospital has had 277 po
liomyelitis patients and 13 of
these have died.
This is about half the aver
age death expectancy in the na
tion and in Indiana as a whole.
This record was made despite
the fact that the hospital took
only serious or critical cases.
Dr. Casely pointed out that use
of oxygen was not new, but that
Riley hospital has facilities to
try the experiment on a fairly
large scale.
It has been common practice
to give patients oxygen treat
ment and place them in iron
lungs only after the victim had
shown a bluish color caused by
lack of oxygen.
But at Riley this year each
victim was given the tests. At
the first indication of lack of
oxygen the patient was treated
with oxygen and placed in a
respirator.

"CALLING T0KY0-4250"
How overseas service puts the world by your telephone
1. For doing; business and keeping in touch with friends,
overseas telephone service has become an everyday tool.
In iU twenty-two years, the calling rate has jumped from
about 2,300 calls a year to 600,000. Today, your voice can
be sent through your telephone and out over short-wave
radio to some ninety-four per cent of the world's tele
phones... over circuits as long as 8,000 miles.
3. Like all service, overseas is a good buy. In 1927, the
lowest overseas rate from the West was $84.00. But now the
maximum to most countries is $12.00 (plus federal tax) for
three minutes. Many calls cost less. The day rata to Hon
olulu is only $7.50 plus tax. Making it possible for you to
call almost anyone, anywhere. ..at low cost. ..is another
way we've made your telephone more valuable to you.
2. Skilled technicians in the circuit control room keep
constant watch on their complex equipment to make sure
your voice can hurdle the earth and still sound about as
clear as a cross-town call. And overseas service is easy to
use. Your Long Distance operator will pive you the rates
the best time to call. ..and set up an appointment call for
you if you wish.
Your telephone is one of
today's best bargains
