1t has also been pointed out that

Precautions Set
Other polio precautions stressed
by national health organizations,
public health officials and insur.
ance companies are:
i. See that children get ample
rest and sleep to avoid overtired-
ness or exhaustion. Normal activi-
ties, however, should not be re-
stricted.
2. Keep children, especially un-
der ten years of age, out of crowds,
whether at picnics, parties, swim
ming pools or elsewhere.
3. Precautions should be taken
against sudden or excessive chill.
ing.
4. Avoid unnecessary trips which
would mean close contact with
other youngsters or needless tir.
ing of children.
5. Call your physician if you
notice any illness, even though it
may appear minor. Prompt medi-
cal attention is advisable and sem
sible.
An additional point emphasized
by many authorities is the avoid
ance of panic. The fears of parents
and adults are readily transmitted
to children.
DR.. Fraser said that as long as
the exact nature of poliomyelitis
remains unknown, no rules or re-
gulations can take the place of
common sense and good judgment
in guarding against polio.
