Fortunately few children are susceptible to

cases are met in the first two or three years Of

ups, but SIS ] have said, most children are immune.
It is really a terrible disease. The paralysis
leaves too many Of the little ones crippled for
life.
The attack comes without warning. The child
is taken suddenly with vomiting, fever, headache
and extreme prostration. After these acute
symptoms have abated the paralysis is discov-
cred. The damage is likely to affect the lower

other parts of the body are attacked.
There are several types Of infantile paralysis.
One is of the brain type. The latter is the more
common form.
