It has been the practice Of the

no milk was available TO keep them
alive. The story of how science has

Progress
In Battling
Mumps Seen

Disease OF Late Winter,
early Spring Studied
BY DIR. LOGAN CLENDENING
MUMPS Is a disease Of late
AVA winter and early spring.
It is also a disease Of childhood,
90 per cent of cases involving
children less than IS years Of
age.
One attack usually affords
permanent immunity. but every
general practitioner can cite
cases of second and even third
attacks.
Nine-tenths Of city residents
above the age of 16 have had
mumps, whereas in scattered
farm communities, remote from
the city, only about 80 per cent
of the entire population have
had mumps.
In some regions only one
young adult out of 10 has
had II.
This explains why pupil nurses
and military recruits are apt
to come down with the disease
within the first three months of
their training.
Thus mumps becomes a mill
tary problem and concerns US
in that respect.
DECENT research has con-
~ fir7ned the finding OF john
son and Goodpasture in 1884
that munps In q virus disease.
The virus exists In the saliva
during the first 48 hours of the
disease and can be transferred
to monkeys.
1t also has been transferred
to humans when experimental
volunteers allowed the virus to
be sprayed into their mouths.
These studies In the con.
sideration Of mumps, however,
have not advanced us in dis
covering q method OF treatment
nor has 1t really helped very
much In prevention, although
prevention of mumps by the use
Of convalescent serum after ex-
posture Is of established value.
The protection afforded lasts
only about IA days and Is there
fore of value in preventing an
epidemic but is of little value
once an epidemic is under way.
MUMPS affects the salivary
WI glands, and the swelling of
the face is due to inflammation
of the parotid and sub-maxillary
glands.
On the whole it Is a mild
disease in spite of some compli-
cations which are troublesome,
but its Importance Is derived
not from its severity but from
the amount Of disability that it
causes.
In World War I mumps
stood third among the diseases
in time lost in the hospital,
ranking next to venereal disease
and influenza.
Undoubtedly with the surge
Of research work on the virus
diseases that is going on now.
methods of prevention and cure
are likely to be found which
will mean an increase In the
efficiency of the army personnel.
ONE Of the reasons why
" mumps causes SO much time
TO be lost Is on account of the
long incubation period and the
long period of quarantine which
the medical corps of the army
and navy insist upon.
The incubation period - the
time between exposure to the
disease and the time when the
symptoms appears usually at
least two weeks.
The quarantine period--the
time during which an indi-
vidual is capable Of spreading
the disease even after the symp-
toms have subsided-is from six
weeks to two months.
This quarantine period is not
usually insisted upon in civil
life, but il always was in my
day in army hospitals and meant,
of course, a tremendous loss Of
time.
