MASSAGE PREVENTS SHRINKING
LIMBS AFTER INFANTILE PARALYSIS
By WILLIAM EVANS

L1oR several days the course of infan-
j. tile paralysis is that of an ordinary
infectious desease. Somewhere between the
frst and sixth days muscular weakness
begins. This symptom is liable to be over
looked unless the physician and the family
especially test the muscles.
The method OF testing consists In having
The patient draw his knees up against
resistance or push with his feet against
resistance.
About one or two weeks after the attack
begins electrical tests will show that the
muscles and nerves are degenerating.
About two or three weeks after the onset
of the desease the shrinking OF the mus
cles is apparent TO the eye. Electrical
tests show that the degenerating changes
in the muscles and nerves keep up for
about six months.
The shrinking OF the muscles may not
be present at all. When present it does
not start for several days after the dis
ease has started and proceeds slowly. BY
akllful manipulation begun in time the
shrinking OF the limbs can be entirely
prevented. The time TO begin is at once
when It is seen that danger to life has
passed. AS soon as the temperature re-
turns to normal. manipulation Of the af-
kected limbs should be begun.
In mild cases II is possible to begin mas
sage within two weeks of the onset of the
disease. In more severe cases 1t shDuld
not be begun until later. Many patents
pass through a stage in convalesonce
when the paralyzed limbs are too tend6 to
be handled with comfort. Most authorities
hold that cases should not be manipulated
during the "tender" stages II may be
necessary to delay the beginning OF mas
sage and manipulation for two months, but
Il should not be delayed longer than tlree
nnonths
Any tendency OF the paralyzed limb to
draw must be overcome by sandbagA or
spIlnts. Manipulation of the paralIzed
limbs must be persisted in. There ID no
magic about II. Patient. persistent work
Is necessary to accomplish results
A few years ago 1t was thought thai II
the case had been neglected for six moths
there was no hope of Improvement. rhe
teaching at the present time is that iEtel-
ligent. persistent, patient. passive motion,
massage and muscle training
viii greatly improve some cases that have
been neglected for years.
OF 2O5 persons attacked in the Bufalo
epidemic, 2b per cent, showed no signs OF
wasting six months after their illness.
In not all the cases can muscle shrink
ing be prevented, but the proportion In
which this after-eifect can be prevented is
large. Even after wasting has been in syi-
dence for years improvement is possible. at

Wedding Details

Dear Deborah Rush-I am to be married in

ushers or do I? CAROL.
A noon wedding is usually prettier than
an afternoon one, as about 4 or o'clock
in the late autumn the shadows begin to
fall and yet II is too early for many lights
in the church. and. therefore, apt TO be a
tiny bit gloomy, and no bride wants

OF course, II you give your bridesmaids

OF the house. Except at very large affairs
II is not customary to ask more than 100
or 200 guests to the reception.
The preferred material for a wedding
gown Is generally creamy satin, but Il Is
really a matter OF personal taste. White
should always be worn except when the
bride is a widow. Heavily corded silk or
crepe de chine Is sometimes selected. and
during the last season number of frocks
have been fashioned almost entirely OF tulle
or lace.
The bridegroom always invites the

Now many persons claim that the pri-

the inclusion of cooking in their cur
