Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: 3 brothers hope -- from wheelchairs. Three teenaged brothers; confined to wheelchairs because of muscular dystrophy; have to look into the realm of science fiction for a cure to their crippling disease. But the Clouthier brothers have hope; thanks to research being carried on at the Charles Best Institute and the University of Toronto and financed by United Appeal.
