USE OF SERUM FOR PARALYSIS UNDER ATTACK State and City Authorities Agree With Warning of U. S. Official. Warnings against vaccination for infantile paralysis was given parents today by state and city health officials, following a similar warning by Dr. J. P. Leake, director of the United States Public Health Service. Dr. Leake, in an article this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association, contends that virus vaccination actually has caused cases of poliomyelitis (infantile paralysis), and that the evidence supports the fact that the disease virus travels along the nerves and not in the blood or lymph streams. I)r. Rice Issues Warning In issuing the warning, Dr. Thurman B. Rice, professor of bacteriology at Indiana University Medical School, said: “I think it is almost criminal for a parent to have a child injected with serum. Dr. Leake, who is our foremost authority, certainly is right in his stand. Infantile paralysis vaccination treatment is not safe at its present stage. ‘ Furthermore, at this time I wish to point out that parents are unduly alarmed by the disease. In reality it takes comparatively few lives and the chances of one child in 1000 contracting it are slight. Indiana Deaths Low “Even where epidemics have existed, as in New York City several years ago, it was found that the child death rate was actually less than at any other time, due no doubt to the fact that they were given better care by parents than at other times.” Dr. Verne K. Harvey, director of the State Department of Health, said that he agreed with Dr. Rice’s stand, and that Indiana had no outbreak of the epidemic. Last year there were but 22 deaths in the state and for the first 11 months of this year but eight. Forty-two cases were reported in 1934 and 56 this year. “There has been no virus injections made in Indiana to my knowledge, and it is my advice that none should be, based on the findings of Dr. Leake,” he said. City Free of Disease No cases of the disease, are present in Indianapolis, Dr. Herman G. Morgan, secretary of the city Board of Health, reported. "I have heard the merits and defects of virus vaccination for infantile paralysis debated at medical conventions and I am in accord with leading authorities that it is a most hazardous practice, and should be discouraged. A number of local physicians voiced the sentiment of the public authorities in stressing the fact that although infantile paralysis is a dramatic disease, its virulency has been overemphasized, and parents have become unnecessarily alarmed. L T , S. Worker’s Car Looted Traveling bags were stolen last night from the automobile of H. A. Holman, of the United States Department of Agriculture, when it was parked in the 200 block, N. Pennsylvania-st, he reported.
