Infantile Paralysis-Our 14-year-
old daughter suffered an attack of
infantile paralysis 10 days ago. The
fever lasted four days, starting at
1929 and gradually coming down
to normal. Nerves of the left knee
appear to be paralyzed- Doctor
put the leg in plaster cast, to be
left on two weeks. What is the
correct treatment? w. w. t.
Answer-The doctor is giving the
little girl the correct treatment.
Good Toothpaste-kindl give me
a recipe for a good. toothpaste, one
that has neither binder nor filler
nor any other nonessential.

Ansver-Take of any suitable
toilet soap that is uncolored and
unfiavored a sufficient quantity.
Shave in fine shavings and boil
with plain water a sufficient guam
tity to make a paste of your pre-
ferred consistency. You then have
the best toothpaste I know. OF
course the original soap is quite
as good. but if you must have a
paste this one is second to none.
