Show More Blind Babies An increase in the number of blind babies born every year U noted by Dr. Merrill J. King of Harvard Har-vard university. Dr. King lays the increase in number num-ber of babies born blind (retrolental fibroplasia) to the fact that the affliction af-fliction occurred mostly in babies born prematurely. He said improved incubation had made possible survival sur-vival of premature infants uho a decade ago would not have lived. "Medical treatment is very unsatisfactory," unsat-isfactory," he concludes. |
