PHYSICIANS DISCUSS
INFANT|LE PARALYSIS
Know Little Of Its Cause or
Method Of Prevention. d

5Winona, Mimi, Oct. 14.-The Min.
nesota State Medical association,
which is now holding it's annual con-
Ventlon here, devoted the morning to
a consideration of the epidemic of in
fantile paralysis which has been ex-
perienced in the state the past four
months. -...-- ->,s- ....s -.
A year ago there were $50 cases
and this year more than four times
that number, pretty we'll scattered
throughout the state. The aim. of the
Minnesota board of health and of
practicing physicians has been to dis
cover the cause of the disease and to
devise means to prevents it's spread.
DR.. H. w. Hill, state epidermologist,
has devoted his entire time since the
outbreak began in visiting cases
throughout the state. AS result Of
his Investigations he inclines to the
belief that the disease comes from
horses and is spread from horse man

spread more readily in exceptionally
dry periods, although prevalent also
at other time; in July, August and
September. ..:.s.
The disease is believed to enter
the system through the nose or throat.
A strange thing is that in the great
majority of cases only one child in a
family is attacked and this is usually
the one considered to be most healthy.
So far no approved method of pre-
venting the spread Of the disease has
been established, although it is
thought sprinkling in dry periods is
helpful. Absolute rest is recommend
ed for victims along with approved
medical treatment I'M,

WHY SALvES FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMA
They Clog the Pores-0nIy a Liquid
Can Reach the Inner Skin.

Since the old-fashioned theory
of curing eczema through the blood
has been given up by scientists,
many different salves have been
tried for skin disease. But it has
been found that these salves only
clog the pores and can not pene-
trate to the inner skin below the
epidermis where the eczema germs
are lodged. 49, "
Thistle quality of penetrating

Gus success of the only standard
liquid eczema cure, oil of winter

Ferrer spoke fce!ingly of the work for

When, it was known that her father

daughter made a personal appeal to
King Alfonso. calling upon him in the

final consolation of the church.
