Infantile Paralysis

New York. July 13.-Leaders in the med

many cities, and charity workers, throng-
ed the rooms of the Academy OF Medl-

cussion of infantile paralysis. which has
brought death into hundreds OF homes

hoped that a cure for the disease would
be heralded or that isolation of its dead
" germ would be announced were disap-
pointed. Dr. Simon Flexner of the Rookie
Teller Institute for Medical Research and
other experts told of the progress made
by medical science in combating the dis
ease, but they had no epoch-making dis
coveries TO proclaim. DR.. Flexner declar-
ed, however, that there is no occasion for
panic. He asserted that the death rate
from infantile paralysis is lower even
than from other maladies considered far
less serious and that in a large per cent

Not as Fatal as Supposed

That infantile paralysis is neither SO
uncertain in origin nor so fatal or per-
manent in effect as generally supposed,
was the assertion made by DR. Simon
Flexner of the Rockefeller Institute in
a paper read at a mass meeting of ply
sicians here tonight. While the death
rate has varied from to 20 per cent.
this figure is not accurate, as only a
small number of cases actually are re-
ported Dr.. Flexner said. Many of
those most seriously affected eventu-
ally make complete recoveries.
The origin Of the disease IS in the
nose, throat and intestines. The chief
conveyor is the human being ..mself
DR.. Flexner said, whether consciously
afflicted or not. Flies are known to
have carried the infection in some
cases, and poultry, pigs, logs and cats
are suspected. The chief means VI dis
