Nav Disease In Austria.

A Vienna correspondent of the Pail
Mall Gazette tells of new infectious
disease among children in lower Aus
tria, to which the doctors have given
the name OF polyomyelites. Trans
lated into plain language this means
children's spinal paralysis. The first
symptom is a high fever, followed by a
severe headache, sickness and vomit,
ing, and sometimes also accompanied
by commissions or cramp. The next
stage is paralysis, either Of the whole
body or individual limbs. This p6S
alysis occasionally takes a transverse
direction, the right arm and left leg
being affected. The disease does not
appear to be fatal. Frequently a com
plete recovery is effected, but occa-
sionally the limbs remain in a weak
condition.
