secretary of the Colorado State Board
of Health says:
The present agitation over the out
break OF acute poliomyelitis or infant
lie paralysis in New York may JUSTIFY
a brief statement from the health de-
partment OF this state. When laymen
see by the official reports that about
one-fourth of the children who take
this disease die and q very large per-
centage Of those who survive remain
crippled for life. it 10 unnecessary to
70 to the specialist to learn that the
disease named Is a serious matter.
In 1907 there was an outbreak OF
poliomyelitis in New York embrac-
ing nearly 5000 cases. but at that
time the disease was not so well un-
derstood as 1t IN now.
The virus which produces the dis
ease is conveyed through the naso-
pharynx. The infected nasal dis
charges constitute the vehicle most
commonly conveying the infection.
Dogs. cats, flies. bed bugs and other
living objects besides mankind carry
the deadly virus.
Persons apparently we'll may carry
the disease from one part Of the coun-
try to another. From three to thirty
days may elapse from time OF ex-
posture before there is any manifesto
ton of the disease. The child appar-
emily well may suddenly lose the use
or may not be preceded or accom-
panied by gastro-lntestinal or febrile
disturbance. The spinal cord Is the
primary seat of the disease. hence the
paralysis.
THE regulations of this board tell
ing how patients infected with this
disease should be isolated and quar-
antined have been sent to every ply
stefan and health officer in this state.
while we do not know whether
there will be a conveyance Of this dis
ease to Colorado, there 10 no good rea-
son for any excitemRnt st this time.
Any railroad conductor who might
discover a case of poliomyelitis on his
