Interesting Paper
On Child Disease
The following interesting and in
structive paper by Dr. C. C. Benedict
will be of interest to the many read
ers of the Anchorage Daily Times, es
pecially at this time when the medical
science of the world is endeavoring to
eradicate the epidemic of infantile pa
ralysis that is creating such havoc in
the eastern cities, especially New
York:
Acute Poliomyelitis, or Infantile
Paralysis. This disease, which is now
epidemic in New York city, is due to
a specific microorganism or so-called
virus that may be grown and culti
vated on suitable media. In the hu
man being this virus has been found
in the nasal and intestinal excretions
of those ill of poliomyelitis and also
in some individuals who have appar
ently shown no symptoms of the dis
ease, so-called carriers. These indi
viduals may have had unrecognized or
mild attacks and are therefore capa
ble of transmitting the disease to oth- i
I ers, or it is possible they may, by be
| ing in close contact with active cases,
have become infested with the orga
nisms and carry them in the secre
tions of the nose and throat. The
whose question of cause and trans
mission of this disease is so new and
so much difficulty attaches to the
technique necessary to carry on ex-1
periments that definite knowledge of
the disease such as is had of other
diseases, is lacking.
However, it is fairly well demon
| strated that the most common avenue
of infection is through the nose and
| throat, and that the disease is conta
gious,—the sources of infection being
definite cases, indefinite cases, conva
I lescents and passive carriers.
It is not peculiar to any climate or j
country, its distribution being world
wide.
il is not necessarily carried ana
(distributed along much-traveled lines,
as in instances two epidemics may ex
! ist in separate cities, while an inter
vening city will be entirely free.
There are a few isolated cases exist
ing in all parts of the country at all
times. At present the only epidemic
is in New York city. Recent inquir
ies show that no more than the usual
number of cases exist in any other
■parts of the United States. However,
there seems to be a seasonal preva
lence, the highest incidence occurring
! during the summer, gradually disap
! pearing in the late summer and fall.
There is a marked characteristic
age preference, those children under
five years furnishing from 50 to 90
! per cent of the cases, while in some
instances those from five to 15 years
i years furnish as high a percentage,
but those past 20 seldom furnish more
than 10 per cent of the cases in any
; epidemic. Another fact that is con
fusing to investigators of this disease
is that it occurs more frequently
i among boys than girls.
The most striking characteristic is
its total incidence, as usually not
more than one in every 1,000 inhabi
tants takes the disease, showing a
marked difference from practically all
other contagious diseases. Why this
is has not been satisfactorily explain
ed, whether due to individual resist
ance or to the method of spread or
some -other factor is not known.
The early symptoms are usually fe
ver, weakness, fretfulness or irrita
bility and vomiting. There may be
acute pain at this time and later will
be pain in the neck, back, arms or
legs, with increased weakness. If
paralysis is to occur it usually ap
pears from the second to fifth day of
the sickness, sometimes it is the first
; symptom noticeable after one night of
| preliminary ' symptoms supposedly
due to indigestion. There may be
l mild cases in which no paralysis will
to
j occur.
Locally we are no more liable
have the disease appear Chan if no
epidemic existed in New York city at
present, and even should a case ap
: pear it does not follow that we are in
any danger of an Epidemic here, be
■ cause scattered cases occur at any
part of the country at any time. How
ever, in order to guard against the
disease observe the following:
1. Keep your rooms absolutely
clean.
2. Sweep with dampened bits of
paper or sawdust—don’t do dry
sweeping.
3. Screen the windows against
flies.
4. Do not allow refuse to remain
in your rooms.
5. Don’t allow milk or food to re
main where flies can get at it.
6. Kill all forms of bugs and ver
min. .
7. Keep the children absolutely
clean, they should have a bath every
day.
8. Don’t allow anybody to kiss
your child.
9. Keep your children out of doors
as much as possible.
10. Keep your rooms well venti
lated.
11. Keep your children by
them
selves as much as possible.
12. Wash well all food that is to
be eaten raw.
Up to the present New York city
has had over 3,000 cases, witn abouc
500 deaths. This epidemic will proo
ably soon begin to subside and will
not reappear to any great degree for
at least two years.
The health department of New
York city places each case under
quarantine which keeps the patient in
and other children out, because the
disease is contagious and carried from
person to person, also by toys, etc.,
I that the patient has handled on ac
| count of the germ existing in the se
i cretions of the nose and throat. The
germ also exists in intestinal excre
j tions, which is another reason why all
outside toilets should be fly-proof.

Demand for Boxes
Exceeds the Supply
When the government put in the
new mail boxes at the Anchorage post
office they didn’t expect there would
be much of a demand for them, but
when it came time to open them to
the public they sold the whole 496 in
two days and there are 190 requests
now on the waiting list.
The July money order business was
the largest in the history of the local
office, regardless of the fact that the
two city banks handled a large vol
ume of business. ,
These are indications that the city
is not asleep by any means and the
coming of winter will see things bet
ter than ever in Anchorage.
