entirely overlooked. Doctors, ex- perienced in the problem of polio, say that delayed or neglected treatment can lead to serious crip- bling. For that reason the Suffolk County Chapter for Infantile Par alysis warns all parents, DON'T DELAY CALL A PHYSICIAN" :" Scientists agree with them that prompt medical attention and treatment of a case of infantile paralysis at the very first signs of illness can prevent deformities from developing and thus save the child from a crippled life.
 Parents must be on the alert during these dangerous months when polio is rampant for such mi nor symptoms as sore throat, un- explained fever, stomach upset, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation. In addition a child may be irri- table and complain of soreness in arms and legs or stiffness in the back and neck. Doctors realize that these symptoms may not always indicate infantile paralysis but they point out that, in many in stances these signs prove to be the beginning of an infantile par alysis function. Early medical care, doctors assert, can prevent a slight muscle weakness, unnoticed at first, from becoming a crippling deformity handicapping the child in later life. Above all the Suffolk County Chapter for Infantile Par alysis urges, "DON'T DELAY CALL A PHYSICIAN"
