INFANT PARALYSIS is
ON THE INCREASE

limbs motion, either voluntary or IN:
voluntary, is lost, but the limbs are
still sensible to pain.
After a time, unless the disease has
proven fatal during the acute stage,
the child's general condition begins to
improve. Sometimes the paralysis en-
tirely disappears and the little one is
restored to perfect health. Unfortun-
ately, however, the termination is not
usually such happy one, and in many
cases permanent deformities result.
Sometimes the paralysis persits to
the same degree as in the beginning
or only partially clears UP. The de-
formities which sometimes occur are
the result of the workings of the heal.
thy muscles being unopposed or bal
anced by the paralyzed muscles. In
this way curvature of the spine, club
feet and similar Affections are brought
about.
Caused by Germ Poisons.
The permanent paralysis and at
tendant deformities just described are
the result of the destruction of the
nerve cells of the spinal cord by the
toxins thrown off by the germs caus-
ing the disease. The extent of the pa
ralysis which results depends on the
extent of the destruction of the nerve
cells of the gray matter; and the parts
paralyzed depend on what part of the
cord has been attacked.
AS the disease is contagious, its
spread is to be guarded against in
the same manner as in the case of
other contagious diseases such as scar
let fever, measles, diphtheria and the
like. The patient should be isolated
and a physician put in charge of the
case as early as possible. Children
should be entirely excluded from the
room, and no more grown-ups should
enter 1t than are absolutely necessary
for the proper care of the child. A
grown-up might carry out germs in
his clothes or on his person that
would later be communicated to some
other child. The fact that flies carry
the disease should not be forgotten.
The sick room should be well screen
ed, and any flies gaining entrance into
the room should be promptly killed.
For further directions as to the
care of the sick room, write to the
State Board of Health, State Capitol,
Atlanta, Ca, for its free second quar-
terly bulletin for 1913, entitled Some
of the Causes of Infant Mortality and
Suggestion as to their Prevention"
This bulletin will be cheerfulfy sent,
free of charge, to anybody in Georgia
who writes for 1t.

Atlanta, Aug 19.-Tncreased preva>
lence of infantile paralysis during the
past few years has caused the Georgia
State Board of Health to prepare an
article warning parents of the conta-
gious nature of the disease, telling how
it should be guarded against, and de-
scribing some of the terrible results
that are suffered by its little victims.
There is no epidemic or special prev
alence of the disease in Georgia at this
time, but it has been gradually in
creasing during the past few years
here and all over the country 1t is
estimated that from 1907 to 1910 there
were at least 10000 cases in the Unit
ed States.
The medical name of infantile pa
ralysis is poliomyelitis. 1t occurs prin-
cipally in children of from one to five
years of age-hence the name which is
more commonly used.
Infantile paralysis is contagious, and
the cause of the disease is a micro
transmitted by direct contact; 1t can be
carried by third person; and 1t can
be transmitted by common house flies.
The malady can occur either in isolat-
ed cases or sometimes in extensive
epidemics.
The incubation period, or the time
which elapses between the time of ex-
posure and the development of the
symptoms, is usually from one to four
teen days.
While adults may be attacked, the
disease usually occurs only among
very young children, and so in this ar
ticle the course and symptoms of the
disease will be described as they oc-
cur in infants.
Symptoms Of the Attack.
The attack usually comes on sud-
denly. A child which has been pre-
viously well and healthy is suddenly
taken with a high fever, complains of
headache and pains in the limbs and
back. 1t becomes dull and sleepy, or
restless and delirious.
There may be vomiting and diar-
rhea, with twitching of the mus.
cles, and commissions. Occasionally
the muscles of the neck and limbs are
affected, and frequently there is pain
and tenderness in the back and lower
extremities. The duration and inten-
sity of these symptoms are variable.
Usually they last from one to two
weeks.
After the above described symptoms
have subsidized the parents notice that
the child is more or less extensively
paralyzed The muscles of the trunk
are sometimes involved, but usually
the paralysis of the extremities is
more noticeable.
Either one or both legs, both legs
and an arm, both arms, or one or all
four of the limbs, may be paralyzed.
The child Is unable to move the por-
tions of the body affected, and the
parts feed cold and clammy. Some
times they look blue, and in time, un-
less recovery takes place. the arms or
legs affected shrivel up and become
smaller and shorter than the extremi.

James Douglas is in no way connected with the company. but said yesterday that 1t was his desire to be with his fath- CT during this great hour of sorrow He related yesterday how his father Dr. Douglas, while taking every extra precaution to prevent any harm or accident in the coal mine, had always been uneasy and concerned. recogn.z- ing the possibility of danger that al ways is present in a coal mine regard less of precautions taken for safety.
 Soon after acquiring the Dawson coal field and when beginning work there, DT. Douglas searched the world for the most competent men to look after and install safety methods in the mines, bringing an expert from a foreign country and keeping him there. Not long ago Dr. Douglas, in talking 10 his son about conditions at Dawson remarked that while he considered that all had been done that was possible for rendering safe the operation of the coal mines, stiIl he expressed regret that it was nee essary to operate them and made t plain that uneasiness regarding their absolute safety was a constant source of worry.
 Speaking of the disaster yesterday afternoas Afr. Douglas stated that it would probably have some effect on the labor troubles in the Colorado mines, as the Dawson field was about the only remaining producer that was normal in operation, and with this supply cut of he expects to see strenuous efforts put forth to bring about an end to the strikes now on in the Southwestern coal mines.
