SWEEPING CITIES
The epidemic of infantile paralysis
threatens other sections of the coun
try as it is raging in New York. The
disease, which is polio-myelitis, has
been described by the Georgia State
Board of Health. The article is writ
ten by Dr. Emory R. Park, and should
Le interesting to the people of Amer
icus:
“Polio-myelitis is a disease princi
pally occurring in children or from
one to five years of age—hence the
synonym, infantile paralysis. The
cause of the disease is probably a
microssopical germ. The disease oc
curs as isolated cases or sometimes as
a widespread epidemic. There seems
to have been an increase in the preval
ence of the disease during the last few
years. It is estimated that from 1907
to 1910 there were at least 20,000 cas
es in the United States. It is an es
tablished fact that it is a contagious
n
disease, the contagion being trans
is
riitted by direct contact, by a third
:o
person, by cats and dogs, and possibly
by flies and other insects. The incuba-
B tion period—that is, the time elapsir-g
between the time of exposure and time
of development of symptoms—iis prob
ably from one to fourteen days.
“While adults may be attacked the
greatest incidence is among very
young children, so the course of the
disease will be described from that
standpoint.
Symptoms.
“The attack usually comes on sud
denly. A child which has been prev
iously well and healthy suddenly is
” taken with fever, complains of head-
ache, aching in the limbs and back,
becomes dull and somnolent or rest
less and delirous. There may also be
vomiting and diarrhoea, twitching of
muscles or convulsions. Occasionally
there is stiffness of the muscles or
convulsions. Occasionally there is
stiffness of the muscles in the neck
and limbs, and frequently there is pain
and tenderness in the back and lower
extremities. The duration and intens
ity of these symptoms are variable,
lasting from one to two days to as long
as a week or more. After the above
symptoms have subsided the parents
notice that the child is more or less
extensively paralyzed. The muscles ci
the trunk are sometimes involved, but
usually the paralysis of the extremit
ies is more noticeable. Either one or
both legs, both legs and an arm, both
aims, or all the extremities may be
paralyzed. The child is unable to
move the one affected, and the pari
feels cold and clamy, looks somewhat
I blue, and in time, unless recovery
takes place, becomes much smaller
and shorter than the extremities not
• involved. The reflexes in the diseased
limbs are lost but sensibility is re
tained. After a time, unless the dis
ease has proved fatal during the acute
stage, the child’s general-condition im
proves and sometimes the paralysis
entirely disappears, and the child is
again restored to perfect health. Un
fortunately, however, not infrequently
the paralysis persists to the same de
gree as in the beginning, or only par
tially clears up. Various deformities
may take place as a result of the con
traction of the healthy muscles be
ing unopposed by the paralyzed mus
cles. In this way curvature of the
spine, club feet and the like are
brought about.
The above symptoms and changes
occur as a result of the poisons thrown
off by the germs causing the disease
first stacking the entire body and later
becoming lacalized in part of the gray
matted of the spinal cord. The extent
cf the paralysis which results depends
on the extent of the destruction of
this gray matter; and the parts par
alysed depends on the level of the
cord attacked.
Prevention.
“As the disease is contageous, its
= spread is to be guarded against in the
same manner as in the case of other
S contagious diseases such as scarlet
fever, measles, diptheria. and so on.

Can He Serve

ATLANTA, Ga., July 17. —Can a man
serve as city councilman and captain
of the national guard which is waiting
orders to move to the Mexican border?
. Maybe he can; maybe he cannot. But
Captain Charles A. Stokes, command
ing one of the companies of the Fifth
. regiment of this city, is going to re
. solve the doubt in his own favor and
hold both jobs, if the people of his
ward in Atlanta will elect him.
Captain Stokes had announced him
self a candidate for councilman be
fore the Mexican fracas developed. He
went with his company to the mobil
ization camp at Macon, and also stay
ed in the race. Now he has paid his
entrance fee and issued a statement

THE I. L. I. BOYS NEED
TOBACCO AND SMOKES
Information comes from Macon that
the A. L. I. boys, our boys, need to
bacco. As yet they have received no
pay from Uncle Sam, and it is not
definitely known just when they will.
It has been proposed that the home
folks send the boys some tobacco, and
some smokes. To this end a commit-1
tec will canvass the town tomorrow
afternoon for this purpose, and it is
to be hoped everybody will contribute
to the cause. This committee, of
course, cannot see everybody, so if you
are overlooked, don’t think it was
intentional, but send or bring your
! contribution to this office, and it will
be turned over to the committee.
Do your duty by the A. L. I. boys.
