ANSWER TO A CORRESPONDENT

ANSWER ~ a COkKESFONDEN
P. D. @. wants to know what we
think of the follow quatrain:
The dove of peace, we greatly fear,
To speak with all due candor,
To fighting nations doth appear
A most im-propaganda.
We'd like to oblige P. D. O., but
two things prevent our telling him
what we think of his lines, to-wit:
First, we have sworn off the kind of
language required by a frank ex-
preston of our views, and, second,
the rules of the postoffice regulating
the Technology of mailable commu-
nications are exceedingly strict. If
P. D. @. will meet us down on the
river front by moonlight, alone, we
will gladly deliver that opinion by
word of mouth to him as he goes
under for the third time-New York
Times.

Microbe Gets Weaker.

Animal experimentation appears to
have demonstrated. however, that the
nicrobe gets weaker soon after the
termination of the acute stage Of the
disease, probably In eight to fourteen
days after the onset. Hence, while an
isolation Of convalescents sufficiently,
long to permit the virus to disappear
utterly is in practice impossible, the
Swedish authorities advise isolation for
some weeks after the disappearance of
the acute symptoms
The disease reaches its highest curve
in Sweden with children about two
years old, then drops rapidly, and is
Eve years of age, although cases of
sufferers as old as forty-one have oc-
Cured. The country districts have a
higher relative proportion of adult vic
Tins than the cities.
The theory of the biennial periodicity
Of the disease-that is, its tendency to
recur each two years in the same dis
trict-which was advanced by the
Americans, Lovett and Richardson. as
result of their studies of the Massa-
chusetts epidemics of 1907-1910, is not
born out by Sweden's experiences. Here
every successive outbreak has afflicted
virgin territory, and, significantly, in
nearly every instance territory con-
tiguous to the district affected by the
last preceding outbreak. Cases have
subsequently arisen in districts former
ly afflicted, but these were scattering.
Wernstedt, King and Peterson are
all inclined to believe that this i'm
munity of formerly affected districts is
probably as real as it is apparent.
Believed Common Disease.
t In view of the fact that. despite the
indisputable prevalence of germ car
riers among healthy people. epidemics
of infantile paralysis do not occur even
oftener and assume greater proportions
than Is the case, the authorities named
incline to think frsts that there is an
average low susceptibility to the dis
ease-as is probably also the case with
cerebro-spinals meningitis-and. sec
ond, in their own words. that I'VE shall
probably find that infantile paralysis
is q common disease of childhood, gen.
orally displaying only very slight symp-
toms, but sometimes acquiring more
virulent character giving rise to dis
turbances In the nervous sstem."
But why 1t occasionally acquires
this more virulent character, what con-
ditions favor it's outbreak, what the
nature Of the disease germ-all these
are questions yet unsolved. The Swed-
ish scientists are hoping great things
from the Rockefeller Institute.
The best research work in the world
on this subject is being done there"
