Miss Elizabeth Crothers returned
this week from Baton Rouge, La,
where she had been attending the
summer school at L. s. U. However,
she did not reach st. Joseph, but was
taken Ill en.route homo and stopped
at Nstchez where she entered the

ful hope Of the young lady's friends
that she may pass safely through the
ordeal and her young and very prom
ising life be spared for the usefulness
to which she will ever devote it.
Since the above was written we
learn that Miss Elizabeth was operst-

successful. The patient was on the
operating table one hour and forty

and child, well on going to bed, lie
found paralyzed in the morning. Con-
siderable IMPROVEMENT often takes
place, though slowly. Diminution of
strenth and restricted use of the limbs
may remain through life.
The epidemic which is now pre-
vslent In New York and the vicinity
Ii much more severe and is attended
with heavier mortality than the cpl
demic OF 1907. The later, however.
was particularly memorable because
1t was followed by Investigations which
led to the discovery of the microbe.
The disease is extremely infectious
and contagious, particularly in the
homes Of the careless and the slovenly.
For this reason the victim should be
quarantined for at least six weeks.
This Is also the reason why it is best
that children should not gather in
crowds in crowded street cars, plav.
grounds, libraries, resorts, churches.
or schools for there may be carriers
there who may have the disease with
out the symptoms as yet.

There may be no pain 1T all, or it
may be mild or severe. However.
when pain is present, it may be eased

with gentle massage The two i'm.
portant factors in treatment are SIM

and rest, complete rest.
The patient must be kept absolutely

While some instances are mild and
