1909 there were 1000 cases In that
state, In the same year there were
6l9 cases in Nebraska and about 400

scattered over the whole country.
Here, at the beginning of the season
for infantile paralysis. there is some
thing pitiful In the efforts OF the ply
sicians of this state to cope with the
disease All of their desperate efforts
OF last year taught them little.
What do these hundreds of physi-
clans OF Massachusetts who, under the
guidance OF the state board OF health.
studied cases in 1876 towns of the state,
know of the disease?
Piufully little.
Dr. : Flexner, of the Rockefeller

had called one day TO see the sick boy
and had kissed him. This little girl
died il agony.
Other stories of fatal kisses began
TO come. Then the doctors learned
that healthy persons might carry the
germs. Dr. j. ]. Hassett. OF Lee. was
called TO attend n baby OF eighteen
months. both OF whose legs became
paralyzed. One day an aunt OF the
baby called and, in pity. kissed It.
Then she returned TO her home and
within a month her own baby girl was
stricken.
Prove Disease is CONTIGUOUS.
Thus, little by little, the doctors
proved Flexner's theory that the dis
ease was contagious.
Then they began to study symptoms.
II was almost a hopeless task. The
physicians were rarely called until

paralysis had set in. The patient had
always had a little fever; the back Of
the neck had been sore. perhaps; there
had been pains In the back But these
symptoms always came almost I'm
mediately before the paralysis.
It's q form of la grippe" announced
one physician. The sore back, the
inhamed membrane in the throat, sore
tonsils, tenderness, fever, are all
symptosm of la grippe, as they are Of
infantile paralysis"
This physician gained many follow
ers. A Swedish physician, who had
studied 800 cases in his own country,
agreed with this theory.
But the treatments that are given
for la grippe did not stop the epidemic
in Massachusetts. Paralysis was al
ways present.
The disease began to attack adults.
One morning a lad of nineteen,
Pittsfeld, who had felt "grippy" for
several days, awoke and stepped out
of bed. He fell. He got up again
and fell again. Then he discovered
that he could not use his left leg.
After two days the illness had passed
away. and he returned to work, but
today he has TO drag his paralyzed
foot.
illness Causes Fall.
Cases like this began TO indicate
TO the doctors that many patients
thought the falls had caused their
illness. when instead the illness
had caused the fall.
Bit by bit the physicians began
TO learn few minor facts in re-
gard to the disease. These were:
II was contagious.
A kiss might cause IL.
Drinking from public drinking cups
might spread IT,
Healthy persons might distribute
the germs, without suffering them
selves.
Adults might be taken with II.
