Who can see or foreteH the end of that
dread seourge 4Infantile Paralysiso Is
anyone or any location within the limits
of Immunity It certainly seems not
appears that medical skill with long and
varied experiences, i'm contagious dis
eases, have been basf1ed in their endeavor
to check it. Money and the best of care
afford no guarantee of safety people
surror. 1ded by every precaution money
can provide have been Indifferent in fan
cied security and communities far out
side the infected zone,s with plenty of
fresh air, the fragrance of Natures
health giving balms, has felt perfectly
safe from the infection. It is no respec-
tor of persons, from the infant in the
cradle to old age, all fall victim to it's
deadly embrace Infantile paralysisi !
Why, the very name implies that adults
are immune from its rayages. In their
presumed security they say how foolish
to fear the disease se-fear is for the poor
souls who breathe the putrid air of a
congested city, when it. is too often true
that to breathe the common air is to
gamble with death itself 1t is an aw-
full jar TO our supposed safeouards to
have them rudely demolished with q
blow, to discover that all the wealth OF
the world cannot purchase safety; dis
tance offers no security and that dear
friend COR relative may at any time be
stricken down as by a bolt from clear
sky. Several cases occurring recently
may be cited in proof of this. In the city

The young couple had Just returned from
their honeymoon trip to occupy the new
home at BaTdon City, r. l. On, what
pity!
One of the puzzling features OF the
disease is the various ways IL anects3
children of the same age and condition.
It is tricky and deceptive disease
and difficult problem to solve, II IN
deed it is soivable.. So far it has proved
serious infection-and difficult TO
manage. y
There was some hope held out IN New
York recently In the statement that
blod infusion cure was discovered to
check the onslaughtsof the scourge. IT
was tried with varied success but was
only the experimental application OF a,
discovery; the theory of this so-called
cure is that there is in the blood OF a
normal person, who has resisted the
scourge, serum that will counteract the
germ poliomy yetits--in short it is to
set up one germ to fight and destroy an
other germ,
