The very first 'Mary Frances' was a paper doll drawn by Jane Allen Boyer. |
Mary Frances Helpem, lives in a child's nursery, working as an assistant to a Red Cross nursing doll called Miss Bossem. Together they help treat all kinds of doll injuries that appear to be quite similar to those found among humans in the outside world and indeed, the methods used to treat the injured and sick originate from real-life manuals used by red cross emergency aid workers in 1916.
Below is a quote taken from the creator of the very first Mary Frances doll about her stories:
"This book is more than a story to inspire children with a desire to relieve suffering; it is a simplified and handy reference book, telling what to do in cases of accident or illness. In no sense is it intended to take the place of the physician. The first principle of first-aid cannot too often be repeated when in doubt, send for the doctor.
Especial thanks are due to E. A. Y. Schellenger, M.D., member Surgical Staff, Cooper Hospital, Camden, N. J., for his great assistance in verifying and revising the medical and first-aid instructions given herein; and to Constance Cooper Crichton, Instructor of First Aid Classes, New Jersey Women's Division National Preparedness, whose helpful criticism and suggestions have been invaluable." by Jane Eayre Fryer
