Polio Victim Stands Up-Janice Dawe, five-year-old English polio victim who was brought to this country in the hope of being cured, takes a few steps with the aid of Miss Dorothy Wagner, physio-therapist at Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago. Aided by new braces and a mobile support frame, the child stood up for the first time in two and a half years. Her parents sold their home and belongings to finance the trip.
