NO SURE CURE YET
Infantile Paralysis Still Battles
Leading Physicians.
Opinions Regarding Habits OF
Germ Very Conflicting.
THURSDAY.

New York, Oct 21.-''An expert
mental advance but many stages from
a cure" was the verdict today among
New York's medical scientists upon
the report of the infantiIe paralysis
research work of Dr. Horace T. Bur
rows, pathoIogist at Johns Hopkins
hospital.
DR.. Burrows has discovered, he
saws. that the germ of the disease
lodges in the large intestine cxclu-
siveIy. It is only possible for the
germ to enter the large intestine by
way of the mouth in food and drink
minated the element of personal con-
tact in spreading the disease.
Other Opinions
Medical men in this city whose ex-
pcrience has encompassed great
number of infantile paralysis cases
said today their conclusions did not
coincide with those of DR.. Burrows
The germ is not always found in
the large intestine" said Dr. Edward
J. Birmingham, executive surgeon OF
the New York Throat, Nose and Lung
hospital The germ itself was found
first by DR.. Simon FIeAner almost ten
years ago.
NAV carry the disea Sc into the body
If Dr. Burrows has discovered this
he has made an advance But We
are convinced that the germ is carried
in many other ways Until We are
medically certain, the element Of per-
sona1 contact must not be rejected
Proof Not Conclusive.
Reports based on small number
of cases are never conclusive It IS
true that babies who have been fed
exclusively on milk and water die of
tho disease. But so do hundreds of
children who have been fed on every
thing under the sun
