L. V. NJ. RESEARCH CLUB.
Experts Discuss Infnntiic Paralysis
md a White Pine Disease.

The University Research club held it's
first meeting Of the season in Morrill,
hall Monday eveniuE, November Q. A
large number Of the members We're pres
cnt. Messrs Fiske Johnson, Ross,
Snyder and Or. Towne were elected to
membership.
committee consisting Of G G. Cum
bingham. Prof. Evan Thomas and DR..
f. *. Jackson was appointed to revise
the constitution and report on It at the
next meeting.
DR.. +. W. Sears gave an interesting
discussion of pollomyelitis or infantile
spinal paralysis, under the following
headings: History, epidemology and
etiology, classification of different variet-
les. symptoms diagnosis and prognosis,
the Importance of long continued treat
ment by exercise massage and galvanic
electricity.
He pointed out that the disease Is by
no means n new one. since it has been
known for at least 6S years.
Formerly it was supposed to be
caused by accidents. etc, but modern
investigation shows the true cause to
be a germ of the coccus type. 1t is
more commonly found among children
to 70 per cent of the cases are among
children under FIVE years, 25 per cent,
among persons from Ave TO 20 years
and ~ per cent. among adults. The
only animals known to be susceptible
are monkeys. rabbits and possibly
guinea pigs. 1t differs from many
contagious diseases in that rural dis
tricts have a greater number OF cases
In proportion to the population than
the towns and cities
The disease generally gains entrance
through the nasal membranes and
! progresses along the nerve tracts to
the central nervous system where II
develops and causes paralysis Of al
most any part Of the body, There
seems to be a natural immunity In
old age, possibly established through
mild attack during early childhood
The treatment consists Of rest, admins
tration of cathartics, drinking plenty Of
water, massage treatment for IS months
or two years, exercise of the paralyzed
muscles. This may be best accomplished
through the use of galvanic electricity,
F. S. Page gave an interesting scientific
report of the presence of mycorhiza on
the roots OF the white pine
| From an anatomical study it appears
that the relationship between the higher
plant and the fungus is a parasitic one
The roots, which are attached, are short
