As "amyotrophic. lateral sclerosls,
the disease stiffens the spinal cord,

Infantile paralysis is attributed to
a virus believed to enter by way of
the mouth or nose, but no virus has
been found in cases of "Gehrlg's
disease" as the affection has become
popularity termed.
DR.. Throckmorton said the disease

it was uncommon but not rare
