NEW YORK, July 17.-tPJ-Be-
lieving that on the basis Of the his
tory Of the disease they cannot look
forward with an ydegree Of assurance
TO an absence Of outbreaks Of in
fantile paralysis during this summer
and fall, doctors and research men
throughout the country are organ
iEing for 2 concerted attack on any
epidemic that may develop.
Every possible ~precaution is now
being taken to protect the public
from the ravages of the disease and
doctors believe the advances which
medicine has made in the knowl-
edge of infsntile paralysis during re-
cent years should diminish the anxi-
ETY. which its presence always oc-
casions.
Have Serum
No satisfactory method Of i'm
munization from the disease has
been developed but there is now a
coEvalescent serum. taken from the
blood Of recovered patients, which
acts to nullify the virus If injected
in the early stages Of sickness. Funds
have already been established in San
Francisco, Boston and New York, to
detray the expense Of collecting ard
distributing this serum. which will
be placed in the car of committees
of physicians especially informed and
qualified to direct its use.
When the above facts and those
that follow were made known to the
Associated Press they were presented
to officials Of the Rockefeller Insti-
tute Of Medical Research and the
institute gave its official approval.
Germ Divisible
The main centers of experimental
investigation of the disease have been
at the Rockefeller Institute here and
at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, al.
though laboratories in Germany.
Austria and Sweden have added their
contributions 70 the rapidly growing
knowledge Of the disease. lnfantile
paralysis is caused by an invisible
germ and Is communicated from one
person 10 another only through the
mouth and nose. Cleanliness and
f~orbearance from contacts such as
kissing children, who are the chief
victims, are the only known proven
tives.

Of many other diseases. In a little

ed the mine would be sold 10 the
