Medical science is studded with the names of its pioneers. Some of these have been scientists, laboring in their laboratories, some have gone forth directly to minister at bedsides. Tonight we pay tribute to one of these heroes, to a nurse who fought with her own hands against a dread disease. Elizabeth Kenny, the Australian nurse whose treatment of infantile paralysis brought her worldwide acclaim.
