MANY Contributed
BLOOD FOR SERUM
Not Necessary In Any In.
stance To Pay For This
Service.

DR.. c. W. Waddell and DR.. Chesney
Ramage the two local physicians who
have been in charge Of the many
little Fairmonters who are donating
their blood for the treatment Of in
fantlle paralysis are we'll pleased
with the excellent manner in which
so many have so willingly contribu'
ted.
There is hardly day passes but
that someone calls on the phone or
at the offices of either Of the two
physicians asking when they can ar
range to have their blood extracted.
At first when DR.. George Draper the
physician who was sent here from
the Rockefeller Institute OF New
York City arrived in the city and
told the local physicians of this ser
UNI treatment at a meeting held at
the Hotel Fairmont a few hours after
his arrival here, 1t was thought that
it might be necessary to expend
large sum of money in securing the
necessary blood with which to make
the serum. 1t was decided to make
an appeal to the local children thru
the newspapers to volunteer to en-
ter into this service, and the event
that no volunteers could be secured,
plans we're being worked out to pay
most any sum of money for the blood.
But the first newspaper men making
the first appeal had been on the street
only few hours until little Rosa
Watson gladly volunteered to take
the first step in contributing blood.
She was soon followed by many 9th
ers until now there is rather an ex-
tended list Of those who have con-
tributed.
Some have been SO anxious to help
the little sufferers that they have
contributed their blood twice, while
Raymond Salvati a young man Of
Monongah has given as much as a
pint of his blood.
The serum is extracted and pre-
pared by DR.. C. W. Waddell Of this
city. The list Of those that have
contributed to this worthy cause will

HELP HEALTH AUTHORITIES.

rNR. C. r. WEIRICHS statement Of Saturday to the
effect that the parents Of little children must cooperate
more closely with the health authorities if the poiom-
yels outbreak this county is to be stamped out more
han justified by the case history of the outbreak at Monon-
eth and at other points in the county.
In Two cases in particular where the illness of the child
was quite pronounced for several days nothing was done
toward seeking professional advice until paralysis actually
ensued Then physicians were called but little can be
done at this stage beyond watching nature take its course
and by sklful nursing and unremittng vigilance ward off
the danger Of fatal termination. Sometimes even when
they are admitted at this stage hospital treatment will result
IN complete recovery that is in recovery that leaves no
haee Of the paralysis but that by no means the rule.
On the other hand cases which have been diagnosed
early enough to permit Of the use Of before The par
ayss occurs almost invariably quickly cured without
he patient experiencing the paralysis That should be the
object Of all parents at time when there is poomyeGtis
The neghborhood-to get the little patient in the hands
Of doctor at the very onset so that the serum treatment
which is certain prevent paralysis may be applied. There
is not the slightest danger that the child will be treated t
polomyes when it has some simple little ament Science
has provided the dagnosticans with method which is
absolutely nfaIibc.
So although the manner in which the germ is spread is
still not thoroughly understood enough known about this
terrible disease to enable the health authorities to speak
with certainty about most of the aspects fits treatment and
prevention, and they should be given all possible support
and cooperation not only by parents of children who ex
hbi signs Of depression but by the general public which
al too frequently leaves much to be desired in the way it
observes the quarantine regulations.
