Poliomyelitis
IN
VIEW
OF
THE
EPIDEMIC
of
acute
anterior
I
poliomyelitis,
known
in
short
as
polio
and
otherwise
as
infantile
paralysis,
and
the
general
discussion
of
the
nature
of
the
malady
and
means
of
avoiding
and
treating
it,
some
facts,
as
officially
given
out
on
the
subject
are
of
timely
interest
even
in
Prince
Rupert
where,
we
are
thankful
to
say,
there
has
been
no
polio
reported
as
yet.
Polio
is
a
virus
disease,
the
incubation
time
of
which
that
is
the
time
between
entry
of
virus
into
the
body
and
appearance
of
first
symptoms
is
usually
between
four
and
ten
days.
Personal
contact
such
as
sneezing,
coughing
and
talking
is
the
likely
means
of
transmission
and
the
entrance
to
the
body
is
at
three
levels
noise
and
back
of
throat,
voice
box,
wind
pipe
and
bronchial
tube
and
the
digestive
tract
from
back
of
the
throat
to
lower
bowel.
;
'
Parts
of
the
body
involved
are
the
intestinal
tract,
musrles
and
nervous
system.
Symptoms
are
j-
headaches,
moderate
fever,
upset
stomach,
loose
-
stools,
obstinate
constipation.

cal
care
to
avoid
or
limit
crippling.
It
is
known:
That
flies
carry
the
polio
virus.
That
the
virus
is
found
in
infected
sewage.
That
such
sewage
can
contaminate
drinking
-water,'
That
convalescent
serum
is
not
effective
in
preventing
paralysis
and
is
not
recommended.
That
spraying
of
the
nose
(olfactory
or
smell
nerve)
is
an
objectionable
procedure
and
is
not
effective
in
preventing
polio
and,
therefore,
is
not
recommended.
That
extreme
fatigue:
uncleanliness
(dirty
hands
at
meals
and
not
washing
after
toilet
functions)
:
chilling
from
staying
in
cold
water,
all
predispose
to
making
an
individual
more
susceptible
to
a
polio
infection.
The
active
child
is
more
prone
to
extreme
fatigue
than
the
quiet
child
;
therefore
the
active
child
,
should
be
watched
carefully
and
fatigue
avoided.
It
is
not
known
how
the
polio
virus
is
transmitted
although'
it
is
surmised
that
it
is
by
direct
....contact,
carriers,
droplet
borne
infection
;
and
pos-,
sibly
water,
fresh
fruits,
vegetables
and
foods
con-j
;'
taminated
with
polio
virus.
;
Here
are
some
anti-polio
suggestions:
i
'
'
Avoid
contact
with
known
cases
of
polio..

..
Keep
out
of
crowds
during
an
epidemic.
Ll
Remember
that
the
active
child
is
most
sus-,
ceptible,
if
allowed
to
play
to
the
point
of

Avoid
physical
fatigue
and
exhaustion.

THE
EDITOR'S
PROBLEMS
All
kinds
of
people
buv
newspapers,
people
of
all
ages,
creeds,
callings
and
tastes.
They
bring
to
bear
upon
the
editor
varying
amounts
of
suggestion,
advice
and
demands.
It
takes
just
as
much
courage
for
an
editor
to
start
publishing
a
new
feature
today
as
it
did
to
start
Daniel
Defoe's
revolutionary
"Robinson
Crusoe"
as
a
lC5-week
serial
In
the
Saturday
Post
200
years
ago.
But
that
Is
nothing
compared
with
the
courage
needed
to
discard
a
feature.
Complaining
letters
from
a
vocai
minority
carry
greater
weight
than
any
statistical
survey.
Editors
are
always
short
of
space.
They
have
to
be
drastic
about
cutting
down
some
things
in
order
to
give
representation
to
many
things,
though
sponsors
or
writers

the

As
Philip
Olbbs
made
one
o'i
ills
characters
say
in
"Street
of

"If
there

at

Bee,
and
if
all
the
animals

you

In

8-page
paper.
That's
simple
arithmetic.
A
complaint
heard
now
and
then
Is
that
the
quantity
of
advertising
over-shadows
the
space
given
to
news
and
features.
An
examination
of

Issues
of

published
In

shows
the

to
be
pretty
nearly
the
standard
of
many
years:
42

The
accepted
I
proportion,
according
to
the
textbooks,
was

and
CO
per

I
To
