unless it progresses to the point of
causing paralysis. So that the figures
quoted in regard to an epidemic may
be quite inaccurate so far as the total
incidence is concerned.

It is known .that the disease is a
widespread than indicated by the
warm weather disease which, curiously
enough, spares warm countries. The
many epidemics récorded have been in
Northern Europe, Northern United
States and Iceland: Very few cases
have been reported from the tropics.
In most. epidemics as in the recent
One, the curve of incidence begins to
rise in July, reaches its peak in August
or September and subsides rapidly
with. the onset of cold weather.

It is known that a community suffer-
ing an epidemic one year is spared the
next. It is known that boys are more
often affected ‘than girls; that more
than one case is unlikely to occur in
the same family.
casesdo occur, there is usually evi-
dence of a common source of infec-
tion. (Only 4.3% of 8634 families in
the 1916 epidemi¢ in New York had
more than one case.) Second attacks
of the disease are practically unknown.
Epidemics have been confined for the
most part to the white race.

What is not known (and until it is
known our attempts at prevention are
clumsy and inaccurate) is the way in
which the disease is spread. Accord-
ing to~ Rosenau (whose book T have
quoted freely in the above) the favored
theory in regard to the. transmission
of infantile paralysis ‘is that: it (like
measles) is a very common and very
communicable . disease -much more
paralytic cases. The mild- gain pro-
tection against the disease but may
spread~it:-—-There-may—be-healthy_car-
riers in the community as well.

There are other favored theories—
that there may be an insect, such as
the..common. house fly; or a rodent
such as the rat or squirrel may figure
in the life history of the organism
responsible for the disease; fo6d or
unpasteurized milk has been held__re-
sponsible by some students. Much of
this evidence is very impressive. It
is possible that the disease, like typhoid
fever, may be directly or
transmissable either from person to
- person, or by.a number of various in-
termediary factors.

The problem is a real-one and its
solution a great prize for the scientific
investigator.

Possibly out of addition of- facts
finally assembled frém the present un-
happy experience will come the knowl-
edge ‘ahd tinderstanding that will-mean
another practical triumph for
ventive médicine.

Charming women are first won by
OLD GOLDS’ appealing taste. But
their enthusiasm doubles when they
find that OLD GOLDS do not taint
the breath or mar the whiteness of
pearly teeth.

-That’s because OLD GOLD is a pure-
tobacco cigarette. Made from the
finest nature-flavored tobacco. So
good, it needs no added flavoring.
