INFANTlLE PARALYSIS.
May Bulletin of Board of Health Dis
cusses Disease.

a prominent feature of the May
bulletin of the State Board of Health
is the matter of infantile paralysis.
The bulletin urges physicians and
householders To bear in mind that the
disease is reportable one and cases
must be reported to the local boards
of health. 1t says in part:
The number of diseases from acute
poliomyelitis tinfantile paralysis) in
Maine in 1919 was p. OF these 20
were males and seven females. But
the number of deaths was altogether
too small to warrant any deductions
as to the sex or age incidence of the
disease. Four of the decedents were
less than one year old; eight were be-
tween one and five years; four between
six and 10; three between II and 20:
six between y and 30. one was 80
and one GA years of age.
Assuming that eight per cent. of
the cases ended fatally that would
mean that about 337 cases of the dis
ease occurred. But the most persist
emily appealing sequels of this malady
are seen in the scores OF children who
are left partly or completely crippled
and all which that means as an afflic-
| ton to families and an circumference
on the State. ,,~sa2l
Though formerly there was not a
| uniformity in medical opinion on this
subject there is no longer any reason
for doubling the infectious character
of infantile paralysis. Observations of
the disease made where it's prevalence
has been extended show Enthusiastically

prevalence OF infantile paralysis has

July, August and September. 1t has
not been shown that heat itself is a

period transmit the disease is a mere

large number of orchards They
have also visited orchards in ether
parts OF the State during the past
two weeks, They report a greater
interest in orchard work than has ever
been seen before in the State. About
every orchardist is doing something in
the way of caring for his trees. either
fertiliZing. pruning or spraying and in
some instances all three. The bios
SONS indicate that there will be a
large yield of fruit.
Mr. Gardner and Mr.. Yeaton gave
a spraying and pruning demonstration
at Wilton and jay in the large or
chaId owned by the Misses Bass al
that place. A good number witnessed
tie demonstration which took place
in the forenoon and there was IN lch
larger attendance at the talk given

 w. I. Hall, R. F. D. 2, New port, Ark, says: Il have never lost an opportunity during the past six years to praise and re- commend Doan's Kidney Pills for what they have done for me as well as other members of my family. They have made such complete cures of kidney trou- ble that it has not been necessa- ry for us to take them or any other kidney medicine during the past three years. One mem Der of the family took Deans Kidney Pills for trouble with the kidney secretions, together with a weak and painful back. They cured her and later l used them for a similar complaint. Their action in my case was just as satisfactory and I was quickly cured. Doan's Kidney Pills were obtained at Dutton's Drug Store and have always been so benefi- cial that I willingly verify our former endorsement of them.'
