Infantile paralysis recent is not disease Sporadic or scat- a of tered cases have occurred throughout origin the country for many years but only during the last decade that infection has assumed epidemic portions in the United States. The present epidemic in New York cit; on account of its magnitude and vir- ulence, has awakened the residents of many communities to the danger of the importation of the disease into their own midst. This danger is real, but if due precautions are exercise: 4t is believed that the epidemic will subside. The actual control of epidemic must be left to state and federal health authoritie: These organizations will proper:! quarantine and care for affected pe sons, prescribe santiary measures and limit as may be necessar: the travel of individuals in order to pro- tect neighboring district from the infection. Individuals and commu , ties, however, can do much toward their protection. it is the pro- the present the cit Stop Spitting. Poliomyelitis is probably spread di- rectly or indirectly, through the m dium of infective secretions. Ac- count must therefo: be taken by communities of every means by which such secretions are are disseminated. Promiscuous expectoration should be controlled. The common drinking cup affords a method for the int change of material of this nature and should therefore be abolished. Rigid cleanliness of glagses and utensils at goda fountains, in saloons and other public places should bhe enforced Flies, roaches and other vermin, by coming in contact with infective se- . cretions, may possibly con them %o our food and thus directly bring mbout the development of disease Therefore eliminate insects. Street and house dust hear a definite r tion to the spread of many infections and it is not unreasonable to pre- sume that they may be a factor in the dissemination of infantile pa- ralysis. Maintain strict cleanliness of streets, yards and alleys in order to prevent the breeding of insects and other vermin. See that all garbage and waste are properly cared for and collected at regular and frequent in- tervals. Guard all food supplies, es- pecially milk and other perishable products. Digestive troubles of « . dren arising from the ingestion food of questionable quality may lower resistance. Assemblies of chil- dren in infected localitiés are to be discouraged, if not actually forbid- den. While the above measures are in a sense general, and applicable to “YOUNG WOMEN MAY AVOID PAIN Need Only Trust to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound,says Mrs.Kurizweg.
