Organism Causing Infan.
tile Paralysis Found.
Or. Samuel Dixon, Secretary Of Penn
syIvanla Board Of Health, Makes
Remarkable Find-Hope OF
Final Cure Seen.

Topeka, Kan.-Dr S. ]. Crumbine,
secretary of the Kansas Board Of
health, has received letter from Dr.
Samue! Dixon, secretary Of tbs Penn
sylvania board of health, explaining
In detail what is believed to be the
discovery of the microorganism
which causes infantile paralysis. Dr.
Nixon does not definitely assert that
he has found the germ, but he has
found an organism in the blood of
persons and animals which are afflict-
ed with the disease and the organism
does not appear in the blood of nor
NAL persons or animals and it is not
described in any of the treatises of
germs.
lnfantile paralysis has been cpl
demic in parts of Kansas for two
years. Last year there was 1S9 cas-
es and forty-seven deaths reported
from this disease and the year before
there were eighty cases and eight
cen deaths. Scientists are working
hard to isolate the germ which causes
the disease and to work out a treat
ment to prevent or cdre it! Thus far
no cure has been discovaIId, and the
germ has not been entir Isolated.
The discovery of Dr.. pixdn is great
advance and it may lead to the discov.
cry of the cause and a treatment for
the disease. -. :

was found, different in morphologic
