covered by Harvard

NEW YORK. While physicians OF
! the CITY medical health department
and practitioners around town have
been entirely at sea as. to the cause
Of the. dread seizures of iafantile para
lysis on some dozen or more city chill
dren, and even resulting in the death
fof man aged tWentynine years.
This matter has been settled beyond
all doubt by Prof. Roseneau. of Hars
ward University, who has isolated the
bacteria Of 1t, and explains the dis,
ease In his new book on preventive
medicine. He finds that the cause Is
the bite Of the Ordinary stable nv,
which carries the germs OF this taf.
fiction In It's proboscis, It Is but fair
to some Montreal doctors Of medi.
cine that they have suspected the sta

diease.
This puts an end to all speculation
about whether, the disease is contagi-
Gus. where 1t comes from, and wheth-
er bad milk has anything to do with.
It. But in this case the child may be
given the purest milk In the world,
and yet, bitten by this fy, contract
the disease.
The symptoms are paralysis of the
muscles. deafness, dumbness, inabil-
ity to move arms and legs Healthy
children are suddenly seized. by this
affiiction and rendered helpless. They
first become irritable for three or
four days, then become silent and,
still. Acute cases even end in death.
After long treatment many cases are.

plete recovery.
The prevention of this pest has
long occupied the attention Of medi-
cal men, and the assertion is made.
that it can only be done BY appoint
ing sanitary inspectors to oversee sta
bles and other breeding places of flies
and have them repeatedly sprayed
with disinfectant that win break
