HOW TO TREAT THE DISEASE

Des Moines, Aug. 19.-Iowa's state
board of health began a strenuous
crusade against the infantQe paraly-
Sis peril by passing q set Of regula.
lions recommending quarantine Of
cases and methods of treating the
disease. ..- ....U
The action of the board of health
followed a conference of experts and
other physicians in the state house
Wednesday. Great emphasis was
placed by the doctors upon the need
OF arousing public sentiment to the
danger of the disease. r
Following are the rules:
All cases of infantile paralysis or
suspected cases shall be reported by
the attending physician or head of
the family to the local board of
health.
The state board of health recon-
mends the quarantine of all cases for
at least two weeks after the begin
ming of the disease and the thorough
disinfection of infected premises at
ter the termination of the disease.
1t is well established fact that
the infectious material is found in
the secretions Of the nose and mouth
OF afflicted persons and the board
therefore recommends the use of
sprays or gargles of one per cent So
luton of hydrogen peroxide to pre-.
vent the further spread of the dis
ease. All discharges from the patient
should be disinfected by means of
bichloride of mercury or carbolic acid.
