It was grim hunt for truth, and the cooperation of those parents whose children were left without the hoped-for preventive, was stir ring. The epidemic broke out, that year, in July. The field test of vaccinating the children began. And already there were scientific facts discovered by others among the Commissions searchers-that were disquieting. Park and Birdie had claimed that their formaldehyde vaccine protected monkeys against small but fatal inoculations of the infantile paralysis virus. But at this moment this was scientifically re- futed by Dr. E. w. Schultz of Stan ford University. The vaccine did not protect Schultz monkeys! Bro- die believed that immunity appear ed in the blood of monkeys injected with his vaccine. Others believed it was the brain, the spinal cord the nervous tissues you'd have to im- munize.
 $75,OOO Spent
 To Learn Truth
 Dr. s. D. Kramer put Brodies claims to the test upon those vac- cinated and not-vaccinated chil- dren in North Carolina. Alas! The immune power of blood did appear in children during that epidemic but in just about the same number of those not vaccinated as those vaccinated.
 You may imagine the disappoint- ment of the members of the Presi- dents Commission and it's medical advisors. And their worries were not leSsened when the Public Health Service experts reported that ab- scesses and other somewhat serious results had allowed the vaccine in some of the North Carolina chil- dren. Now the commissions adviS- ory medical committee met to face the truth that the vaccine was a failure, and that all 5000 had been sunk into this now hopeless venture
 The present writer will never for get the day when it was necessary to tell Dr. Park that the truth made it necessary to terminate all at tempts to test his vaccine upon children Park was full of years and honors, was co-conqueror of diphtheria, one of the most dis tinguished of our counrrys health men It was a bitter moment for all of us. It was Dr. Thomas M. Rivers of the advisory medical committee who made us all feel bet ter when he said, Well, anyway, today we've made science"
 Rivers meant that we had faced the truth. and acknowledged it. In science, it is exactly as important to find out what is not so as what is so.

Three years ago the fight against the maiming death was 8 feeble one, not because the truth hunters were lacking, but only because there was 8 dearth of dollars to pay for the monkeys without which their fight could not go on. Then, in 1855 the American people, celebrating the birthday of their. President, joined the death-flght by contributing more than $20O000 to the support of their truth hunters.
 When the Searchers working un- der grants from the Infantile Paralysis Research Commission be- gan their toll in IA laboratories in our country, two key riddles faced them; Since infantile paralysis is an infectious sickness, can monkeys be guarded against attacks of it? If monkeys can be guarded, will the means of protection be safe and simple enough to test, in the field, aganst epidemics that every year threaten our children?
 Differences of Opinion
 Beclouded Truth
 In 1885 at the beginning of this organized battle there were formid- able differences of opinion among the soldiers. There were microbe hunters who believed that the vac- cination of monkeys against mfan- tile paralysis was possible. There were others who denied this. What was the truth? Even if the deadly infantile paralysis virus could be tanned down into a vaccine to guard
