If you live in or near n ;Cf mnun.it y i
where infantile paralysis has been
reported, and if you hear the above
complaint from your child, then it’s
time for you and all those kids’
mothers to get together.
Epidemic precautions include
not onlv keeping your children out
of polluted rivers, lakes end pools
in affected areas. Experts also
recommend that you keep children
away from ..npvr groups of people;
that you don^'t* allow them to put
anythin^ into their mouths that
mij-ht be soiled by the discharges
of human bodies; that vowr house
screens be tight against’ flies and
mosauito°s; and that your children
get plenty of rest.
Summer is the open season for
infentile paralysis, with August
ar September the peak months*
Ch dren up to ten, but rarely un*
de one, are the most frqquent vic
tems. Last year there were 12,404
cases-- the third-largest outbreak
in United States history.
There isn't any cure, but there
are many treatments which relieve
the crippling .that occurs in half .
the cases. Volunteers all over
the country are collecting materials
needed for Sister Kenny’s hot-pack
treatment. The National Foundrticn
has spent more than $500,000 in
testing and evaluating the Kenny
treatment since 1940, and in train
ing doctors, nurses and physical
therapists in its technique.
