The Dread Disease Which Modern Science Has Not YetConquered-TheSick Child aPitiful Sight- . How the Disease is Conveyed - What to Do to Prevent Contagion.

ITTLE chill, a mere infant perhaps say, from one. to five" years Is put to bed seemingly In excellent health. In the morning It Is found to be suffering In the crudest way; and paralysis has come upon that child in the night season. If now the doctor makes the diagnosis of infantile paralysis the parents will very likely recall some severe fall, or some previous weakening disease. But such are not the real cause; they but make the child's tender body susceptibly to the attack of the specific, the essential cause the germ of infantile paralysis. Dr. Flexner aid his associates of the Rockefeller Institute In Xew York have demonstrated this germ to be an extraordinarily minute parasite, 'discoverable only by the "ultramicroscope." How Transmitted. This germ of Infantile paralysis, then, is present in the secretions of the nose and mouth. Arid it Is communicated by means of soiled handkerchiefs, towels and the like no doubt also by kissing. Thus will the germ gain access to the upper air passages o fresh victims. The predisposed or susceptible among the latter then In turn acquire the Infection, develop the disease and become In time carriers of the germ. And healthy persons, such as parents who have had to be In Intimate contact with the stricken children, may also become carriers, though not themselves sufferers from the disease. And so the germ thus lodged In the rose, throat and mouth will. In children of "sub-standard" constitution, be conveyed by the lymph channels, through the exceedingly delicate and honeycomb-like boney tissue at the base of the skull, to the anterior spinal artery; and so. In the blood stream to the gray nerve ganglia In the anterior roots of the spinal cOrd thoe ganglia (chumps of nerre cells) which control the muscular actions of the body, but especially of the extremities, and more especially of the legs. And that Is why the doctors call this infantile paralysis "acute anterior poMoravelitis" gray matter inflammation. .

Symptoms Of Dread Disease- t Let us now discuss a little more ! thoroughly the symptoms and the ; course of this disease. X ! As in all infections there Is a hatchj lng period In Infantile paralysis anyI where from three to twenty-one days, j the average being from a week to I ten days. There are premonitory (signs, naturally difficult to detect In little hildren. who cannot so well as their elders indicate the nature of their sufferings. But a child's behavior may be at variance with Its natural disposition; as, for instance, rest lessness and peevishness in a natural- ! ly good and quiet child: or apathy and Ustlessness in a naturally romping child. The disease once established varies also lrl Hi degree of severity, turning out very badly Indeed In cases where the Inflammation extends from the spinal cord so as to Include the nerve structures in the neck and the brain. And so, the hatching period bc'.ng concluded, a child may first of all have stomach and Intestinal trouble, with either constipation or diarrhoea. Or Inflammation of the nose and throat begins the invasion with fever, quick pulse, sweating, headache, neck and backache, restlessness, pains down the legs, muscular twitchings and sensitiveness on being handled The child Is likely to cry with the slightest symptoms. Parents may mistake the beginning of paralysis for physical weakness or perhaps Just laziness. The child is now unable to sit up or to hold tip its head and its limbs become limp, refusing their office. Fortunately, these symptoms may subside in a few days; no actual paralysis - develops; and a fortnight completes the recovery. Such Is a mild case' of infantile paralvsis. Such symptoms as those Just mentioned but more Intense, characterize moderately severe cases. The Jemperature then goes quite high, to 10S degrees Fahrenheit: then is constant sweating, prostration and restlessness. and most pitiable pain in the back and extremities. The- child Is then likely to lose control of the bladder artd of! its rectum. After several days of' i such suffering there is a placid i paralysis of a group of muscle?:, in j either or both lower extremities. les frequently in the trunk or the arms. !

there may be recovery, partial or complete. The child that, does not die will for a long time continue prostrated; then there will be rapid Improvement In the paralysis up to a certain point, then slowly for about two ' years; and after that any re maining, paralysis will be permanent. Besides the muscular' paralysis we may have to fear retarded bone growth, deformity of the Joints Involved, "drop foot," lateral curvature of the spine and generally Impaired bodily nutrition. Such a child Is likely ever to be "poorly" as to Its health, up to and after manhood and womanhood. Afterwards. The aftermath is Indeed a melancholy one. I have seen children with extremities so shriveled as to be hardly thicker than the lg of a kitchen table, and with not much more shape to them legs so distorted that the heels were where the toes should be and toes twisted to the back.' According to the Virulence of the epidemic from five to beyond twenty per cent, of these pathetic sufferers die whilst three-fourths of the survivors are in greater or less degree crippled for life. We have here, then, a disease which should give us all the most anxious concern. If there seems to be anything at all out of the way with one's child a doctor must be called at once. And he will distinguish this disease from influenra, typhoid fever, rJieumatlsm, meningitis and the acute , fevsrs generally. . r . Preventive Measures. Soon as the disease is discovered the stricken child should be Isolated in an upper room, well ventilated, free of needless furniture and screened from files and other Insects. For since files transmit tha germs of many other diseases, why not afso that of Infantile paralysis? Only the doctor and the nurse should go In jind out of the sick room. The stools, j urine and secretions from the nose and mouth must be carefully disinfected, as In typhoid fever (kept for an hour In a'l In 20 solution of carbolic acid). Individual eating utensils should be used by the patient and the nurse; and these should not be returned to family use until they have been -thoroughly boiled (for fifteen minutes, at least); the same precautions should be applied to milk bottles or other objects which could in any way nave-come tn contact with an infected person.. All domestic nimals have to he excluded from the sick room: and the I house and premises must be kept as ; clean, dust-free and saniiarv as to-

I LUCILE STEVENSON Soprano. FREDERICKA GERHARD DOWNING Contralto. slble. Every case must at once be reported to the local health officer,' who should promptly establish a quarantine and maintain the same a least twenty-one days. If every case of Infantile paff were promptly discovered and iv ed. either at home, or better h Vj ' hospital, many virulent epidemics would be nipped In the bud,' drastic measures avoided ar.d an enormous saving of illness, death and general wretchedness avoided. Cold Weather Hnlt Dlscnse. The coming of cold weather is likely to diminish the occurrence at, infantile paralysis; then, in sufj ftt calities where it has appeared. iAyM-. cians and health officers should the next spring be most watchful, so as to safeguard the community against any recurrence of the epidemic. There have in the past been several epidemics among our people In 184V 1880 and 1895 In Xew Orleans, at . various -times in Cuba, frequently In Europe. But this disease did not attract very general notice until 1907, since which year at least 6. COO cases have been reported In the Cnifed States, whilst very many more must have escaped detection and registration. Epidemic Of 1907. The original centres of the epidemic In the summer of 1907 were along the Atlantic seaboard, especially in the parts of Xew Tork and Boston, where many immigrants - enter our country. Every summer since. the number of outbreaks among our people would seem to have been Increasing in the epidemic of 1910 twenty-one States were represented, as widely divergent as Colorado and Connecticut, as Delaware and Idaho, as Massachusetts and Oregon. There is as yet rio assured antitoxin serum, either curative or preventive of Infantile paralysis. Nor is there any other established curative agent. The medicines given are addressed to the symptoms and in this respect give much relief. Much depends upon the care given to a patient and the efforts made to prevent the permanent crippling of those who do not die. In New Tork during the present epidemic, children are vigorously excluded from moving picture houses: and picnics and other gatherings are for the time being discontinued. The . citizen is expected to aid the health authorities those who obey sanitary laws, to instruct their neighbors who . do not. All are made to feel, for the comrrun welfare, how importnt is cleanliness, and hov safety is especially promoted by the disi nf' of household refuse.
