symptoms of Dread Disease.

Let Us now discuss a little more
thoroughly the symptoms apd the
course OF this disease.
AS in all injections there Is hatch
ing pericd-in infantile paralysis any
the average being from a week to
ten days. There are premonitory
signs, naturally difficult to detect in
little hildren, who cannot so well as
their elders indicate the nature of
their sufferings But a child's be-
havior may be at variance with its nat
ural disposition; as, for instance, rest
lessness and peevishness in a natural
ly good and quiet child; or apathy
and listlessness in a naturally romp-
ing child.
The disease once established varies
also III it, degree OF severity, turning
out very badly indeed in cases where
the Inflammation extends from the
spinal cord so as TO include the nerve
structures in the neck and ths brain.
And so. the Matching period being
concluded, a child may first of all
have stomach and intestinal trouble.
with either constipation or diarrhoea.
Or Inflammation of the nose and
throat begins the invasion-with
fever, quick pulse, sweating, headache.
neck and backache. restlessness. pains
down the legs, muscular twitchings
and constituencies on being handled
The child is likely to cry with the
slightest symptoms. Parents may
mistake the beginning OF paralysis for
physical weakness or perhaps just lazi-
ness. The child is now unable to sit
up or to hold up It's head and It's
limbs become limp, refusing their
ONCE. Fortunately, these symptoms
may subside in a few days; no actual
paralysis develops; and a fortnight
completes the recovery. Such is a
mild case of infantile paralysis.
Such symptoms as those just men,
toned but more intense, characterize
moderately severe cases. The tenn
perature then goes quite high. to 102
degrees Fahrenheit: then is constant
sweating. prostration and restlessness.
and most pitiable pain in the back and
extremities. The child is then likely
to lose control OF the bladder and OF
its rectum. After several days OF
such suffering there is a placid
paralysis OF a group OF muscles. in
either or both lower extremities. less
frequently in the trunk or the arms
