ionally there is stiffness of the mus
cles in the neck and limbs, and fire.
quently there is pain and tenderness in
the back and lower extremeties. The
duration and intensity of these symp-
toms are variable, lasting from one
or two, days to as long as a week or
more. After the above symptoms have
subsidized the parents notice that the
child is more or less extensively par
alyzed. The muscles of the trunk are
sometimes involved, but usually the
paralysis of the extremeties is more
noticeable. Either one or both legs,
both legs and an arm, both arms, or
all the extremeties, and the parts feel
cold and clamy, looks somewhat blue,
and in time, unless recovery takes
place, becomes much smaller and shor-
ter than the extremeties not involved.
The reflexes in tn diseased limbs are
lost but sensibility is retained. After
a time, unless the disease has proved
fatal during the acute stage, the child's
general condition improves and some
times the paralysis entirely disap-
pears, and the child is again restored
to perfect health Unfortunately, how
ever, not infrequently the paralysis
persists to the same degree as in the
BEGINNING, or only partially clears up.
Various deformities may take place as
a result of the contraction of the
healthy muscles being unopposed by
the paralyzed muscles. In this way
curvature of the spine, club feet and
the like are brought about.
The above symptoms and changes

INFANT|LE PARAl Yas|
BY EMORY r, PARK.


Polio-myelitis is disease principal
1y occurring in children of from one
to five years of age-hence the syno-
nym, infantile paralysis. The cause of
the disease is probably microscope
cal germ. The disease occurs as oso-
lated cases or sometimes as wide
spread epidemic. There seems to have
been an increase in the prevalence
of the disease during the last few
years. 1t, is estimated that from 1907
to 1910 there were at least 10000 cas-
es in the, United States. 1t is an es-
tablished fact that II is contagious
disease, the contagion being transmit
ted by direct contact, by third per-
son, by cats and dogs, and possibly by
flies and other insects. The incuba-
ton period-that is, the time elapsing
between the time of exposure and the
time of development of symptoms-is
probably from one to fourteen days.
While adults may be attacked the
greatest incidence is among young
children, so the, course of the disease
will be described from that standpoint.
The attack usually comes on sud-

Prevention.

AS the disease is contagious, its
spread is to be guarded against in the
same manner as in the case of other
contagious diseases, such as scarlet
fever, measles, diphtheria, and so on.
The patient should be promptly iso-
lated, and a physician put in charge
of the case as early as possible. No
more people than absolutely necessa-
ry should be exposed, and children
should be especially excluded from the
room.
Sputum and mucous from the nose
and throat should be caught on rags
or paper and burned at once. The rine
and bowel movements should be thor
oughly mixed with a strong disinfect-
ant before they are thrown out. A
strong, freshly made whitewash is a
good disinfectant, as are also formalin,
carbolic acid and chlorinated lime.
Cats and dogs may carry the dis
ease; therefore they should be kept
out of the room.
The fact that flies may carry the
disease should not be overlooked. The
sick room should be we'll screened,

came to himself he might have
stanched his blood. His wound was
hardly bleeding now. 1t had already

finish him, not his hurt He was too
young to die.
With great effort he raised himself
on his arm and scanned the desert

words were prayer for the safety
of loved one during the night,

seemed to rise more solemn ones. He
heard the rolling of the organ in the
cathedral in his native town, for he
came from Rouen originally, where
there is one of the most beautiful

spirit and to cradle it. Then he
breathed his prayers-they took form.
! and in his sleep he repeated the Ave
Maria and the Paternoster, and the
words rolled and rolled over the
deserts face and the supplication
seemed to his feverish mind to mingle
with the stars.
A sort of midnight dew fell upon
him: so at least he thought, and 1t
seemed to him a heavenly dew and to
cover him like benignant rain. He
grew cooler. He prayed again, and
with his words there came to the
young man an ineffable sense Of peace.
He pillowed his fading thoughts upon
it; he pillowed his aching mind upon
it and his body, too, and the pain OF
his wound and he thought aloud, with
only the night airs to hear him, in
broken sentences: II this is death 1t
