DR.. ROSENOW FINDS.
GERM OF PARALYSIS.
lsolates Causative Agent Of
PoIiomyeIltis in TonslIs Of
ChiIdren-Hope for Cure.

NEW YORK. Oct 17.-Medical men
showed keen interest when word reached
this city that DR.. Edward c. Rosenow.
head OF the meteorological department
OF the Mayo Foundation at Rochester,
Mimi, had finally succeeded in isolating
the germ which. judging from the in
variable results OF many experiments,
is the cause of infantilc paralysis.
The news of DIR. Rosenow's expert
ments and discoveries was learned here
through the fact that DR.. Rosenow had
just completed and read before a body
Of Minnesota medical men the results OF
his recent labors.
Even laymen have come to know
something of the Importance Of the
isolation of the germ of a battling
disease. Isolation does not necessar-
ily mean that a preventive will soon
be found: but the history OF medicine
does show that once the causative
germ of diphtheria, typhoid fever,
scarlet fever and other diseases had
been Isolated a successful preventive
measure Tor the disease was perfect
ed almost Immediately.
Germ Found in Tonsils.
One very important result OF DR..
Rosenow's work was the discovery that
invariably the germ which he has iso-
lated was found in the tonsils of chill
dren suffering from infantile paralysis.
the Inference being that the tonsil plays
an important part in the contraction Of
the disease. '..
Naturally. the question has arisen,
therefore, in medical minds. since learn
Ing OF Or. Rosenow's discoveries
whether or not the removal of the
tonsils of children might not prevent
infantile paralysis. DR.. Rosenow's ex-
periments here showed that children
suffering from poliomyeltis who were
not making good recovery showed
striking Improvement after the tonsils
had been removed.
Not Yet Conclusive.
But physicians believe. and doubtless
DR.. Rosenow would agree with them II
It were possible to get him to talk for
publication on the subject-which he. OF
course, will not do-that a greater num-
Der than 12l cases would have to be
observed before any hard and fast die
tum should be pronounced or, what Is
more important, before a general re-
moval of tonsils from healthy children
should be countenanced.

Cut Your Store Bill
Down One HaEf

Tens of thousands of farmers as well as
town and city folks cut down their store
bills one-half last year and saved money
in spite of generally short crops and re-
duced wages.
Absolutely millions of dollars were
saved and countless families lived better
than ever before in the face of the cotton
crisis and general business depression.
How were these burdensome store bills
cut down? BY the real money-saving
power of good home gardens, rightly
planted and kept planted and tended
through the season.
Hastings 1916 Seed Catalogue tells how
to cut store bills down; tells about gar
den and farm seeds of kinds and quail
ity that cannot be bought from your mer-
chant or druggist. It's full of garden and
farm information. It's free if you ask
for it. Write for it now. H. G. HASTINGS
