SEEK REMEDY FOR
INFANT PARALYSIS
Many Physicians Believe MaIady
Is One of Most Serious
Infectious Diseases

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-As a result
of recent discoveries made in exhaus-
tive studies of infant paralysis it is
probable that strong efforts will soon be
made to induce health officers through
out the country to quarantine cases OF
this malady, declares DR.. w. Fl. Fitch
of No. 800 Manhattan venue, editor OF
Pediatrics. 1t is generally agreed
among physicians that this is a grave
ly infectious disease, asserts DR.. Fitch.
So rapidly has this opinion gained
ground that the American Orthopedic
society and the American Pediatrlc So
ciety, in a joint session at the congress
of American Physicians and Surgeons
at Washington last May passed p reso-
luton recommending that cases of In
fantile paralysis be quarantined.
In the August number of Pediatrics
one hundred and fifty pages were de-
voted to a review of the various phases
of several thousand cases of this dis
ease which have come under the OBJ
servation of eminent American and for
eign physicians.
In an editorial relating to the articles
on the subject DR.. Fitch says,
"The medical profession of today has
the task of creating a new literature
upon the subject of infantile poliomy-
elitis.
During the last few years there have
occurred several epidemics in various
parts of the world, and our own coun-
try, the United States, had little more
than one-half of the reported cases.
LAS yet there is no special treat
ment nor any intelligent means of pre-
vention The severity and fatality OF
poliomyelitis fluctuate widely in diff
ferent epidemics, and its effects are
always so disastrous as to make 1t of
the gravest Importance to the profess
sion. 1t is one of the gravest
infectious diseases and beyond
question on the increase. The
mortality ranges from to Is per cent.
OF the cases that ultimately survive
more than so per cent are permanently
paralyzed and remain cripples for life"
AS the department of health of New
York city does not regard the disease
as infectious no record of the number
of cases in the city is kept It was
said at the offices of the department
that the number of deaths from the
disease in the city since January, 1910,
would not exceed six.
The disease is not so prevalent here
as it was a couple of years ago, de-
clare physicians. At the New York
infant asylum it was said that there
has not been a case in the institution
for several months.
