See Infected Teeth
Gateway for Polio
Slips Into Nervous System
Through Cavities.

CHICAGO. - Two research men
marshalled evidence here to snow
that the treacherous polio virus was
slipping into the nervous system
through dental cavities.
DR.. Hans H. Reese and DR.. John
G. Frisch of Madison, Wis, said
the rich network of nerves feeding
infected teeth offered an unguard-
ed gateway to the spinal cord and
brain.
Their findings, part of a nation
wide attack on the Gripping foe,
are reported in the Dental Digest.
AS supporting data, they demon
strated that Illinois, Indiana and
Wisconsin cities using fiuorine in
their water supplies had less polio
than other cities in the same states.
Fluorine has been hailed as a foe
of tooth decay.
At the University of Wisconsin,
the research men studied 80 Intan-
tile paralysis patients.
Of these, "a, or &c per cent, had
infected teeth.
VI IN HOH-pOLO peISOHS SAeAL-
ined in the same age group, only
80, or 26.5 per cent, had infected
teeth.
This is their theory on how the
virus invasion works:
The food, contaminated by insects
carrying the virus, is forced into the
tooth cavities under pressure OF
chewing. The virus is driven into
the dental tubules, into the pulp, and
then speeded by nerve highways
to manning missions.
In Illinois, the researchers found
that of SO communities adding fuo-
rine to the water, only n person in
every 1892 came down with polio
from 1941 through 1945.
Of non-f1uoride communities, the
average was one in each 1,546 per-
sons.
"The findings in these two groups
of Illinois communities showed that
the incidence of poliomyelitis was
22.4 per cent less in high-auoride
communities" they reported.

Thief Operates While

three local surgeons were short

Ter, DR.. Robert Robillot, both of
