One ca.se of Anterior Poliomyelitis
B
I I nent during the week. Commonly
known to the public as Infantile
I I t-alysis, this disease begins as an
j I . <' generalized infection, and is
| I to a filterable virus, occuring
I -t!i epidemically and sporadically.
I To many who do not fully under- <
I aid medical terminology I wish to
j I s a'.e that epidemic signifies occuring
H great number, anil sporadic means '
| occasional case scattered over a I
|| territory. The virus attacts
n< rveous system and do s its :
| I principal damage to the anterior
j I nerve roots of the spinal cord, caus- |
a permanent paralysis of certain
I . oi muscles.
\\ bile children are more suscep- '
tible than adults, still no one could >
!>? considered absolutely immune un- '
1? they had previously had the dis- i
case. From the standpoint of prevention
it is important to note that social
and hygienic conditions have no influence
what ever in determining th?
infection. Sir Walter Scott gavt
a graphic account of his own case.
Symptoms of the Disease

comes on abruptly accompanied
ty fever, nausea and vomiting, irritability
and stiffness of the neck,
and sometimes tenderness of the arms
and legs. On the other hand a perfectly
well child may go to bed at
night and awake in the morning with
a paralysis of certain groups of musThe
incubation period is short and
i> stated in the literature to be from
three to fourteen days, or generally
throe to seven days.
Anterior Poliomyelitis has been
transmitted from man to monkey by
the inoculation of the monkey in the
nasal passages with the secretions
from the nasal passages of man;
consequently, it is the belief of scientists
that the disease is taken into the j
human system through the nose and j
transmitted by the olfactory nerves |
to the central nervous system thence
| to th- spinal cord.
I Infantile paralysis is a warm
weather disease, beginning in April
or May and reaching the peak in July,
generally subsiding as cold weather
approaches and occuring only sparadically
in winter.
It hies been proven by statistics that
males are more susceptible than females.
Fifty-six percent of cases rei
ort-cd were males and forty-four
females.
m inc nature of the virus is unknown j
I we, therefore, lack an exact criterion |
I by which to recognize the disease with j
I certainty.
S This disease as a rule does not
9 spread in families only 4.3% of 8,634 .
g families in New York in 1916 had
I than one case, and it has been
noticed by students of this disease
when more than one case does
occur in a family they usually occur
I stimultaneously, and this would lead
to believe the infection came from
I ommon source. Or course, healthy
M carriers may readily transmit the dis||
ease from those infected to others and
H .suffer no ill consequenses themselves,
i Prevention of the Disease
H This is the most important feature
o far as the general public and the
Health Department is c oncerned. Dae
to the fact that Infantile Paralysis
I always leaves a permanent mark and
is a maligant and dangerous disease,
I it behooves the Health Department to
S cj? rll in its power to control this inm
fiction. This, of course, cannot be
ra done without the cooperation of the
general public, and right here let me
add no definite of effective system of
I pi -vention can be laid down, since
" medical profession is not definite
ly sure of the mode of transmission.
I Ml cases should be reported to the
I Health Department without delay in
I order that adequate quarantine and
B isolation of the patient, when possible.
H may be done. Visiting of those infect
ed with the disease should be strictly
B prohibited, all articles of bedding,
towels, eating utensils used by those
I suffering with the infection should I
I be sterilized by boiling. All attend
ants who serve the sick should wash
I their hands in some antiseptic soluI
tion such as lysol (one teaspoonful to
I 1-2 gallon of wotnr \ ~

ed as a preventative measure.
The question might arise here how
do we know I 1solution of Hydrogen
peroxide will kill the virus if we
don't know what the virus is. This
has Ken proven by laboratory experimentations
with monkeys. The virus
infected discharges were treated with
hydrogen peroxide and administered
to the monkey repeatedly and did not
cause the disease. On the other hand
the same virus was administered to
the same monkey without treatment
with Hydrogen peroxide and the monfciy
was striken in a few days.
One other fact let me impress on
your mind. If your baby or small
child becomes ill, consult your family
physician.
Nantahala t orest
Streams Will Be
Opened For Fishing
It has been announced by Forest
Supervisor Charles Melichar that certain
streams within the Cooperative
Wildlife Management Areas in the
Kantahalr. National Forest will be opened
for fishing during the 1939 fishing
seasons. The following open
dates have been set for the different
streams: Fires Creek and tributaries,
and Nantahala River and tributaries
May 18, 19, 20; July 3, 4, 5; August
10, 11 ,12. Shope Fork and Ball Branch
(Coweeta Experimental Forest)
and Wayah Creek and tributaries May
29, 30; June 23, 24; July 28, 29. All
streams on government land within
these areas will be opened with the
exception of Jones Creek, and Dryman
Fork. Both these streams arc
within the Standing Indian Area and
are kept closed because of the smail
fish that were planted during the 1938
planting season.
Swain Section Of 19
To Be Widened Soon
C. M. Steppe, Swain county Supervisor
WPA, states that around 250
Swain county men will l?e given
employment on a WPA State sponsored
highway project in the near future,
probably starting next week, with the
widening, surfacing and building
shoulders on that section of No. 19
from the Jackson-Swain line at Whittier
to the concrete bridge at. Governor's
Island. The surface on this section
of road will be made two feet
wider, the crown taken out, curves
elevated and shoulders built, work
that will require about four months
for completion.
Highway officials state that the project
will not interfere with traffic
while the work is being done.
