Crippling Polio!
r ■
i
6IVK BLOOD NOW! GAMMA GLOBULIN
TAKK$ 3 MONTHS TO MAKKI
MUST BE READY IN TIME POR PEAK.
POLIO SEASONI
ontrolled medical tests show that
Gamma Globulin has often helped
! prevent the crippling paralyzing ef
fects of Polio. (The major use of
Gamma Globulin up to this time
has been in the prevention and control of measles
and infectious hepatitis.) By injecting children with
Gamma Globulin the incidence of paralysis in Polio
has been greatly reduced. Gamma Globulin is made
from human blood. Blood that only you can give.
WHAT 1$ GAMMA GLOBULIN?
amma Globulin is that part of
.human blood which contains “anti
bodies” built up in the blood stream
as die result of the human body
fighting disease. Long after the in
fading Polio virus is gone, “antibodies” remain in
the blood— sometimes for life! By collecting this con-
oentrated substance which contains the “antibodies”
i %
—and inoculating persona with it. Gamma Globulin
has greatly reduced the crippling effects of Polio in
many cases treated.
YOU MAY HAVE HAD POLIOI
"ou may have had mild Polio ... but
never knew it. (Most of us have
been exposed to Polio ... and suc
cessfully fought it off without de
veloping paralysis.)
What happened? Simply this: When Polio virus
entered your body, certain cells produced “anti
bodies” which are still in your blood. These protec
tive “antibodies” either dissolved the Polio virus..
dr helped your white blood cells destroy them.
GAMMA GLOBULIN NOT A “CURE-ALL”
t must be stressed that Gamma
globulin is not a “cure-all.” How-
■ ever, recent field tests scientifically
demonstrate that Gamma Globulin
does give temporary protection
against the paralytic effects of Polio.
STOCK PILE CRITICALLY LOW
PTTT here is now not nearly enough blood
I available for Polio use . . « espe-
'Jr*- dally if an epidemic should again
strike this summer.
Because it takes one pint of blood
to make one dose of Gamma Globulin for the average
child . . . and because Gamma Globulin protection
lasts only a short time ... it is obvious that more
and more Mood is urgently needed.
“LATER” WILL BE TOO LATE I
ince Gamma Globulin must ~ be
l processed or “fractionated” from
pooled blood derivatives, it takes
three long months before your
blood can be made into Gamma
Globulin. That’s why it is important that you give
blood now!
Yes, helping prevent Polio is one more reason—a
powerful, compelling reason—why you should give
Mood NOW! tf enough blood can be secured quickly.
- K.*.aK.S. . , ‘.V .. - - I . . • . ■ • . S •
A
America’s desperately small stock pile of Gamma
Globulin may be built up in time for the peak Polio
season ahead.
ARMED FORCES GET WHOLE BLOOD FIRST
s it should be, our Armed Forces
get first call on all blood donated.
'Because if a badly wounded Ameri
can soldier doesn’t have whole
blood immediately, he dies.
Blood is needed at home, too—for the hospitalized
veteran—for emergencies and disasters on the home
front—and to help build up a reserve that is large
enough and mobile enough to see us through possible
enemy attack.
Yes, your blood donationnot only helps fight Polio,
but serves all America because . . . the blood you
give is used wherever it is needed most—first!
You want to help in this good
cause...and perhaps you hpre
given Blood willingly. But with
out operating funds, the collec
tion of Blood in Newberry County
will be discontinued on June 30th.

**I went to can her for lunch."
Ambros Creighton had said a few
minutes before. "The door was
locked and when she didn’t an
swer X called you."
The other members of the house
hold were Mrs. Bernice Smythe,
the victim's middles ged sister, and
Eric and Freida Smythe. Mrs.
Smythe's thirty-year-old son and
twenty-six year old daughter.
Joy Burton was waiting for Urn
in the hall when Sam came out
and closed the door, “It’s all right
to say Mrs. Creighton committed
suicideT"
"No," he told the pretty report*
er, "It isn't suicide.**
When he questioned Mr. Creigh
ton, Mrs. Smythe, Eric, and Freida
he - learned Ambros and Mrs.
Smythe had both been in the house
at the time of the "suicide." Eric
had been out in the garage tinker
ing with his car. Freida had driven
into town earlier and returned just
before Ambros called the police.
Letting them believe, for the
present, it was suicide, Sam drew
Joy aside and asked, "What do you
know about these people?"
"Well," she answered. "The
money all belonged to Mrs. Creigh
ton, inherited from her first hus
band. The others are poor relations,
so to speak.
"It’s rumored that Mr. Creigh
ton has been seeking other inter-
ssts at a certain apartment build
ing up-town.
"Mrs. Smythe. a widow, has fal-
tow for some man with no money
and not much reputation. Her sis
ter didn’t approve."
“Well, Erie Is quite a gambler.
He made a trip to Les Vegas •
few weeks ago. Since Amo he's
been seeing a trfg-ttme gambler.

"I don't know."
"You get on the phone end find
out if any one at them. Creighton
or any of the Smythes ere good

Sam met her in the hallway later
with e bundle under his arm.
“Whet did you find out?”
"In his day, about thirty years
ago. Mr. Creighton did some swim
ming' Mrs. Smythe doesn't go in
for It at all. Eric Is the bathing
beach type swimmer but Freida
won a swimming contest about
three years ago."
"What about diving?"
"She won second place a couple
of times in high diving—Sam, you
aren't thinking—”
"That I ami Want to come along
and hear?"
"You bet."
"I couldn’t have killed her,”
Freida cried. “The door was locked
from the inside. I wasn't even
here."
"You did leave the estate, but
walked back, came through the
back, knocked her out, locked the
door, banked her, then kicked over
the chair. You dived out the win
dow, swam around to the beach
and your car, dressed, then drove
back.” .
"That’s crazy. It’s 00 feet or more
to the water," she screamed.
Sam held up the bundle, "A wet
bathing suit, cap, and towel in the
trunk of your car and your high
diving record—that and four inches
make you a murderess."
"Sam, darling, you’re wonder
ful,’’ Joy beamed.
