Brown is with the Departments of History and of Community and Preventive Medicine, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY.

We were pleased to see the letter from Andrew Noymer about the Images of Health article in the August 2001 issue of the Journal. Noymer's suggestion that the image dates from the mid-1950s seems highly plausible. The postcard in the National Library of Medicine collection is undated, but as the Poster Child campaign was introduced in 1946, the image must have been created after that date. It does seem likely that it was created in conjunction with the anticomplacency campaign.

For a good sampling of the March of Dimes materials, interested readers can consult A Paralyzing Fear: The Triumph Over Polio in America, by Nina Gilden Seavey, Jane S. Smith, and Paul Wagner (New York, NY: TV Books; 1998), a companion volume to the film of the same title.
