The Reclamation of Spinal Cripples Osteopathic practltlOnets experienced in the treatment of curva­ ture and displacement of the spinal vertebrae are often disappointed to find that all the effects and benefits of manipulation obtained from one treatment are frequently lost before the patient returns for the next treatment. In such cases the need of some firm, mechanical support for the spine and back is plainly indicated. By the aid of the Philo Burt Spinal Appliance the benefits of each progressive treatment are preserved intact and a substantial improvement or complete cure is materially expedited. We make this assertion on the authority of a large number of osteopathic physicians of high repute and extensive experience in the use of the Philo Burt Appliance as an a\lxiliary in the treatment of spinal cripples and invite any interested reader of this journal to write us for full information. 30 Days' Trial Free If you will describe to us any case in your care at this time we will send descriptive literature and supply full information concerning the Philo Burt Appliance and show ita advantages in the particular case.

Gandhi, the person, was in this particular locality for less than a day, but the 'Mahatma' as an 'idea' was thought out and reworked in Gandhi as Mahatma: popular imagination in subsequent months.

We are not concerned with analysing the attributes of his charisma but with how this 'Many miracles, were previous to this affair [the riot at Chauri registered in peasant consciousness.

  • On the History of the International Protection of Refugees by Gilbert Jaeger
    RICR Septembre IRRC September 2001 Vol. 83 No 843 727 On the history of the international protection of refugees by Gilbert Jaeger hereas the history of protection of refugees dates back at least a few centuries, not to mention refugee situations in Antiquity, the history of international protection starts with the League of Nations. No one Wwould be surprised to learn that the International Committee of the Red Cross was the initiator of the international protection system set up by the League of Nations. The League of Nations period World War I (1914-1918), its preliminaries (the Balkan Wars, 1912-1913) and its aftermath in the Near East (the wars in the Caucasus, 1918-1921, and the Greco-Turkish War, 1919-1922) caused considerable upheavals in the States involved and especially in the Russian Empire. Large numbers of refugees (estimates vary between 1 and 2 million) left Russian — later Soviet — territories for various countries of Europe or Asia Minor, Central and East Asia between 1918 and 1922 and also thereafter. GILBERT JAEGER is a former Director of Protection, UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Geneva. 728 On the history of the international protection of refugees Emergency relief was provided mainly by charitable or- ganizations. However, these organizations could not extend their suc- cour beyond material assistance. Furthermore, “[r]esources were becoming exhausted, and there was no central co-ordinating body. In these circumstances the Joint Committee of the International Committee of the Red Cross and the League of Red Cross Societies called a conference of the principal organizations concerned on 16 February 1921, at which it was decided to invite the Council to appoint a High Commissioner to define the status of refugees, to secure their repatriation or their employment outside Russia, and to co- ordinate measures for their assistance.The proposal was received by the Council on 21 February 1921, and States Members were sounded on the feasibility of international co-operation and the forms it should take.

  • Chapter 4: Petrograd (1917–1921)
    Chapter 4: Petrograd (1917–1921) Upon his return to Russia, and finding himself caught up just weeks later in the tremendous upheavals of the October Revolution taking place in the city all around him, Zamiatin promptly jettisoned his primary career in the shipyards as an engineer, retaining only his part-time teaching post at the Polytechnic. With a new world appar- ently opening up, he decided that now was the moment to throw himself fully into pursuing his vocation as a writer. His role during the 1920s would be not only that of an author, but also that of a lit- erary specialist — as a critic, reviewer, editor and administrator — and equally as a teacher of the new generation of writers. He brought to these tasks an uncommon degree of professionalism, the legacy of his previous experiences of employment. Now in his early 30s, he was someone accustomed to working independently and to taking respon- sible decisions, and he possessed considerable personal authority. In the documents that have survived to illustrate the next decade or so, the personal largely recedes from view, and the public figure steps for- ward. The Zamiatins created a striking impression when they arrived back home: “I recall a greyish autumn day in 1917. At that point Petersburg was no longer Petersburg, nor yet Leningrad — but Petrograd. […] There was a ring at the door. […] In came a young cou- ple, fresh and cheerful and smartly dressed, not in a Petersburg style, but precisely in an English style. The Zamiatins had only just returned then from England.
