PREVENTION OF INFANTILE PARALYSIS

, mate insects street and house dust
bear definite relation to the spread
Of many infections and It Is not un-
reasonable to presume that they may
be factor in the dissemination of in
fartIe paralysis. Maintain strict
cleanliness OF streets yards and alleys
In order 10 prevent the breeding OF
insects and other vermin. See that
all garbage and waste are properly
cared for and collected at regular and
frequent intervals. Guard all food
supplies. especially milk and other
perishahle products. Digestive trou-
hles Of children arising from the In
gestIon Of food Of questionable quality
may lower resistance. Assemblies OF
children in infected localities are to
be discouraged, If not actually forbid
deD. While tho above measures are
IN a sense general. and applicable to
many epidemic diseases, their i'm
rortanco should not be overlooked.
Individual preventive measures may
be thus summarized;
summon physician at once and
Immediately notify the health officer
of the presence Of the disease. II thu
disease is present in the community,
medical aid should be sought when
ever q child Is sick no matter how
light the illness; many cases of in
fantile paralysis begin with a slight
tndisposition. Should the illness prove
to be infantile paralysis isolate the
patient place a competent person In
charge. and reduce all communication
with the sick room TO a minimum.
Hospital care Is preferable, not only
for the child. but In order TO better
safeguard against the spread of the
/ disease. The sick room should be
! well ventilated and screened. Nasal
and mouth secretions should be re-
ceived in cloths. placed In a paper bag.
and burned. The clothing of the child.
the bed linen, and the excretiona
should be diAnfecttd In the same
manner as for typhoid fever. that is
I by boiling, the long continued appu-
cation Of per cent carbolic, or other
well recognized dislnfectant The
same is true for dishes and drinking
vessels Nurses should exercise the
same precautions as regards cleanli-
ness Of hands in caring for infantile
paralysis patients as Tot those affliCt-
ed with other infectious diseases.
A child may convey the disease tc
others even after lapse of several
weeks. For this reason quarantine
should be maintained for consider
able period. usually from six TO eight
weeks. and the above precautions
should be adhered 10 during this time
