Should Identify Carriers.

'The other feature in the situation
necessarily to be cleared up before the
carrier problem can be intelligently dealt
with is the discovery of some method
whereby carriers can be readily iden-
titled. This is now impossible even
though suspicion might be cast upon a
particular person. and the examination
of any considerable group of persons
such. for instance, as the inmates of a
founding asylum. is entirely out Of the
question. The determination rests upon
the incubation of monkeys by secre-
tions or tissues from the suspects, one
monkey being required for each case, and
the time consumed being considerable.
Monkeys are scarce and difficult to obtain,
and even though the inoculation proves
negative it does not show freedom from
infection. however valuable a positive
reaction in the monkey may be in show
ing the existence of the disease.
"On the whole, the situation hardly
seems nearer clearing up than II did at
the beginning of the present outbreak"
Evening star., 1916-10-04
Spread by Contact.

The difficulty in preventing the
spread Of the disease must be ex-
planned on the hypothesis that it is
carrier-borne, If we are to adhere to
the theory of it's spread by contact.
On the basis of the carrier theory. the
first infection introduced into a COM
munity is probably by carrier and
not by clinical case, and this unrec-
ognized source of infection probably
gives rise to many carriers before the
first clinical case is discovered. The
discovery and isolation of the clinical
case contributes, therefore, very little
toward the prevention of the spread
of infection, for that case represents
but one out of many sources of in
lection. and the discovery of 1t does
not give any clue to those other
sources.
THE hypothesis that infantiIe paraly-
sis is spread by carriers seems to be
more consistent with the erratic man
ner of its appearance than any other
theory. While the individual human
carrier may not travel far. he does pass
his infection onward to the outermost
borders of his personal acquaintances
Moreover, individual carriers in no
small numbers do travel considerable
distances by rail, automobile and other
wise. The human carrier, too. is the
most likely of all disease-infecting
agents to come into contact with other
human beings.
IF the disease be spread by contact,
direct or indirect. and individual car
riers play an important part in it's diff
fusions, as under such circumstances
they must do. hope lies in either or both
Of two directions. Relief must be hoped
for chiefly in the discovery Of the chan
ne}s through which infection passes
from one person to another. These
channels are as yet unknown and can
hardly be guessed at. A well monkey
associating week after week with an
infected animal. being exposed for the
very purpose of determining whether
he will or Will not develop the disease,
does not develop it. How, then. does one
human being associating with another
contract the malady? When we know
this, we will be in a better position to
attack the problem of prevention

Discusses Carrier Theory.

Are there carriers of infantile paral-
ysis, persons who appear well and feel
we'll but who nevertheless are infected
and capable of spreading infection? 1t
the disease Is spread by personal contact.
direct and indirect, it seems certain that
carriers exist and that during seasons
when the disease is prevalent they are
very numerous. OF course. whether the
disease is or is not spread by personal
contact is as yet unknown
Strange as it may seem. the very fact
that so many persons are immune to
infantile paralysis is one of the strong
est evidences in favor of the hypothesis
that the disease is spread by carriers.
Without immunity. carrier cannot ex-
ist. His immunity. it is true. must be 4
partial immunity only. one which does
producing micro organism in his body,
and which yet does protect him from
it's deadly effects. Whether this inn
munity is Unborn or acquired as the re-
suit of an attack of the disease is not
material.
An immune person of this class upon
exposure to infection. either to an
active case of the disease or a carrier,
may thus be infected. and. since he does
not develop symptoms to attract even
his own attention or that of his asso-
ciates, may continue for an indefinite
period to spread disease 1t is impor-
tant to remember that carriers may in
feet other persons, who become carriers
as well as infect persons who develop
clinical symptoms of the disease, for
this feature of the situation shows the
difficulty of controlling it. The clinical
cases that are discovered and isolat ted,
il the disease be a carrier-borne dis
ease, are merely the occasional islands
that are discovered as they appear in
the sea of infected carriers, who them
selves are not noticed because they re-
main on the same level as the rest of
the community.
