Memories of rural life on a Pennsylvania farm in the early years of the 20th century. Although the topic is different, I've added (in 2009), my cousin's absorbing paper, "The Handicapped At Home." REMEMBER: To start at the beginning, you must click on the June 2006 section of the archives, go to the June 25th entry, then "scroll up" from there.

Judy: Misc. 3

5. Although I have never seen it, I have been told by a rehabilitation nursing instructor that the book Spinal Cord Injuries by Dr. Daniel Ruge (Chas. C. Thomas, Bannerstone House, 301 - 327 E. Lawrence Ave., Springfield, Ill.) contains a good section on rehabilitation.
6. A Mealtime Manual for the Aged and Handicapped is a unique, completely authoritative guide which clearly demonstrates how kitchen tasks can be streamlined to permit the aged and disabled to live active, self-sufficient lives. This manual includes sections pertaining to nutrition, menus, appliances and self-help devices. It also contains a comprehensive listing of organizations and agencies which offer information and help, along with sources for obtaining useful equipment. This little gem is published by Essandess Special Editions, a division of Simon and Schuster, INc., and comiled by the Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine, New York University Medical Center. Their publication department, 400 E. 34th Street, New York, N.Y. 10016, also has other excellent pamphlets, etc., at minimal charges.
