THE CAUSE of POLIOMYELITIS has been known

for some years. It is 3 virus which is a tiny living organism|

tpo small to see under the ordinary microscope. Knowing the cause, however, has not brought all the answers to the disease and there are many things still to learn. / One difficulty which has prevented more rapid progress is the fact that there are few experimental animals which

nose or throat, and excessive exercise after any sign of indisposi-

are susceptible to the virusition. It must be emphasized that

and its behavior is therefore difficult to study. Furthermore there are at least two kinds of polo virus and what happens to’ them in the cold months or at other times and places when polio practically disappears has remained some-_ thing of a mys-

ed only when there is an unusual amount of polio in the communt- | ty; trying to wrap children in| cotton wool all summer from un- | reasonable fear is unwise and unneeded.
