Percentage Of Deaths.

About fifteen in every hundred patients
die. according to q bulletin recently cir
culated by the board Of health Of the
state Of Washington. About seventy in
every hundred remain permanently par
alyzed. In 1907 there were $500 cases In
the city Of New York and positive data
was obtained from 100 cases. So far as
observed the disease seems to appear
more frequently along the lines Of travel.
but particularly along river basins.
A report issued by the New York So
ciety on Nervous and Mental Diseases
seems to indicate that this disease
spreads from the cities to the surround
ing towns. Heretofore II has been OBJ
served to be more frequent In the cOun-
try than In the city. but the present
epidemic IL upsetting that theory.
The committee which studied the 760
cases In New York gave as an opinion
that the disease 10 communicable Certain
cases seem to be infective. without doubt,
although the degree Of virulence has moth
ing to do with its infectivity. When the
disease attacks adults 1t Is generally be-
heved that the disease Is OF vdrulent type.
Fever an Accompaniment.
AS for symptoms. fever b nearly always
present The duration OF tho fever Is
from one to three days. although some
cases show that It lasts longer. Vomiting
Is present In one-f0urth of the cases,
generally present ON the first day. some
times recurring on the second or third
day. Out Of 75O cases In New York there
were 568 that had no chill. Restlessness.
headache. apathy and sometimes convul-
sions and delirium are symptoms. In 121
cases In New York there was marked
rigidity OF the neck. These cases at the
outset closely resemble cerebro spinal
meningitis The brain remains clear as
a rule Almost all cases have pain and
tenderness during the first few days,
sometimes excruciafing. generally In the
legs, frequently In the spine and trunk.
less frequently In tho upper extremities:
A peculiar feature OF this disease IL the
occurrence OF pain about the knee either
TN front or back.

Movement to Make It Reportable.

DR.. Woodward is also receiving almost
daily communications and bulletins from
cities and states which indicate that
there is a widespread movement to make
infantiIe paralysis a reportable disease.
Along with it, precautions of various
kinds are being taken everywhere in the
United States to keep the disease from
spreading further. That physicians
the exact facts of the disease Is evident
from the different methods taken to check
its spread.
Epidemics Of infantile paralysis have
occurred in Europe and Australia, in ad-
dition to North America. More than forty
severe epidemics from various countries
are known to the medical world. Norway
had a wave of the disease which seems
overwhelming in point of numbers. From
nineteen cases In 1908. the curve rose TO
sixty-four IN 1904. and to very nearly
100 the next year.

Seattle Takes Action.

The health Office Of Seattle has issued a
bulletin which explains that the authori-
ties believe that 1t is far better to take
precautions against the disease than to
go on the assumption that It is not COM
municable. The bulletin reads:
Tho department has deemed 1t ad-
visable to require the reporting of this
disease by the physicians and to estab-
lish q modified form OF quarantine. pla-
.arding such cases which occur within
the city limits.
As will be seen the exact cause Of the
disease is unknown. nor are we at all
certain as to how il Is communicated In
general. however. we know that It Is a
disease of hot weather when dust is most
abundant. This corresponds to what
may be termed the height of the fly
season, and inasmuch as We know that
the fly is a carrier OF almost any kind of
bacterial disease II Is evident that II
will be wise for every household to re-
double its efforts to keep down the
number of flies and keep them out of
the house. Sprinkling the streets ad-
jacent to the house will be found q prac>
teal precaution. We advise house hold
ers to pay little more attention to
this point.

A HoLLER FOR HELP

The desperate straits to which the
canvass of DR.. Mead finds itself is
shown most conclusiyely in the earn
est appeal which he makes to the
old soldiers. Most OF the veterans
in Bennington and presumably in
other parts of the state have receiv-
ed a letter from DR.. Mead of which
the following is copy;
My Dear Comrade:-As a candid
ate for the governorship, am
brought in contact with numberless
friends but no friendship and no sup
port touches me as that which comes
from my former comrades in arms.
There were $4,000 of us Vermont
boys in blue
There was the shock of battle and
there has been the onslaught of
years, and now but 200 of us remain.
Presumably l am the last soldier
of that war, whose friends will ask
that he be advanced to the highest
civic honor of the state
If have heard from you, this is to
convey the thanks of your comrade.
If not, it is to ask that | may hear
| from yeu, for If chosen, as | have
every reason to suppose ! shall be,
/ there will be no more inspiring
thought to impel me to serve well
the state, than that you who served
our country with gallantry and honor
gave me your friendship and confid-
ence at this time.
Fraternally yours,
John A. Mead.
Not to detract in the least from the
glory due Dr. Mead for his nine
months service in uniform, even
though not called upon to do much
fighting, isn't it rather belittllng to
the dignity and honor of a soldier to
try to trade on his patriotism, in a
rather sordid political campaign?
Then too, what right has Dr. Mead
to presume that no other old soldier
NAV aspire to the governorship?
There are not a few of them just as
well qualified as the doctor, as for
instance Col. Haskins, Gen. Butter
field, Hugh Henry, Former Lieut.
Gov Mansur and many others.
