Des Moines. July 22.-No new cases
Of infantile paralysis were reported to
the state board Of health yesterday.
Doctors all over the state are being
warned to watch for new cases and re-
port them promptly to the state board.
One of the most extensive studies
Of this disease thus far reported to
Iowa authorities was made in Sweden,
following an epidemic there in 1911.
TA report Of these Investigations was
made by the state medical institute of
Sweden to the meeting Of the inter-
national congress on hygiene and
demography in Warrington, D. c., in
1912.
Manner of Dissemination.
During the course OF the epidemic in
Sweden. In 1911, about $500 cases
were observed. In this report as pub
lished in pamphlet form three eminent
Swedish physicians, Carl king, Alfred
Peterson and Wilhelm Wernstedt.
give some conclusion with regard to
the manner OF dissemination Of the
injection based on our Investigations
csHo VOu001AAAA8 tA0 QO6SloAlSy u q
transmission OF tho infection by means
Of understanding animals" Among
other things these men say:
I'VE have succeeded in demonstrat-
ing the presence of the microbe of in
fAntile paralysis on the mucous mem
branes Of tho mouth, nose. pharynx,
trachea and the intestine Of persons
who have died of infantile paralysis.
We have also done this on the cor
responding mucous membranes Of
typical cases during life. excepting in
the case Of the trachea, which has not
been subjected to an Investigation,
and we have further demonstrated it's
presence IN the same places in
patients who were only very slightly
attacked and presented no character
istic symptoms. Some Of these latter
lived in the surroundings of positive
cases Of infantile paralysis, others
again under conditions where as far
as could be ascertained, no intercourse
with cases Of paralysis had taken
place. Finally we have demonstrated
the presence Of the virus in persons
who were themselves perfectly we'll
but had been in contact with cases Of
infantile paralysis" S3g
Transmission Of Disease.
These physlctans further observe:
Since the microbe IL known to exist
on tho above mentioned mucous mem
branes in persons who have never
been i'll, 1t must be presumed that 1t
has got there from outside and in all
probability thru infections secretions
from other individuals"
AZ regards the transmission Of the
disease by Understanding insects these
men conclude: THE presence in the
blood Of only q small number Of
microbes and their short existence
there would seem to prevent the
transmission Of the disease from one
person to another thru blood sucking
insects in the sufficiently great extent
necessary to cause real epidemics."
This report does not deal with the
care and treatment Of the disease but
only a. to its causes.
