Paralysis Found
 In Early Egypt

The story of infantile paralysis is as old as the tablets of Egypt, and has repeated itself sporadically through the ages. Sir Walter Scott, the novelist, wrote of his having had infantile paralysis in 1772.
 In ls4o, infantile paralysis was established as Q definite disease. In 1881, 1t became epidemic in Sweden. The United States did not have an outbreak of infantile paralysis until 1896. It has been present since then and between 1910 and 1916 there was rapid increase in this country.
