THE EVENING BULLETIN, Providence, Rhode Island, April 12, 1955
* Jonas Salk
* Polio vaccine success
* 1st made public
The front page has a headline announcing one of the more significant medical breakthroughs of the 20th century, the success of the polio vaccine. The banner headline announces: "Salk Polio Vaccine Successful" with subheads & photo of Salk. Above the headline are photos of area school children that are eligible for new vaccine. Nice for display as such. Loads of text.
Incomplete issue containing 8 of the 44 pages, minor wear, generally nice.
