Every possible precaution is now being taken to protect the public from the ravages of the disease and doctors believe the advances which medicine has made in the knowi- edge of infantile paralysis during re- cent years shoul diminish the anxiety which its presence always occasions. No satisfactory method of ini- munization from the disease been developed but there is now a convalescent serum, taken from the blood of recoverad patients, Which acts to nullify the virus if injected in the early stages of sickness. Funds have been established in San Fran- cisco, Boston and New York, to de- fray the expense of collecting and distributing this serum, which will be placed in the care of committecs of physiclans especially informed and qualified to direct its use. When the above facts and those that follow were made known to the Associated Press they were pre- sented to officlals of the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research and the institute gave its official ap- proval. Experimenting With Cures The main centers of experimental nvestigation of the disease have been at the Rockefeller Institute here and at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, although laboratories in Ger- many, Austria and Sweden have added their contributions to the sapidly growing knowledge of the disease. Infantfle paralysis is caused by an Invisible germ and is communicated from one person to another only through the mouth and nose. Clean- liness and forbearance from con- tacts, such as kissing children, who are the chief victims, are the only known preventives. “It is necessary that parents keep | & sharp lookout as to the health of their children,” one internationally famous physician told the Associat- €d Press. are not readily apparent to the layman. The children run a fever, become nauseated perhaps, and com- plain of a headache. These are also symptoms of many other diseascs, In a little while the neck may stiffen, or an arm or leg become flaccid. If only the child can be placed in the hands of a competent physician hefore this occurs, the re- sults would be beneficial. These facts are stated not for the purpose of alarming the general public, but mercly to point out the necessity for great care.’” The first spectacular epldemic of ‘Symptoms of the disease | forcing doctors to the conclusion that although the white population of the world may some day become |immunized to its ravages, the disease has not yet run its course. | The effort to find means of im- ! munization has been untiring Dbe- cause of the virulence of the diseas which is revealed in statistics whic show that about one-half of all vic- tims are to some extent permanent- ‘Iy paralyzed and that the other half is almost evenly divided between those who succumb and those who recover. | The medical effort has been to find a means of producing artifi i\mmumky which in other dise: communicated through mouth and nose has been accomplished by |means of vaccination.
