With. tIese mild infections of . poliomyelitis no', par alysis occurred. With, such mild in- fections. many, cbildren have gradually buiît up an immunity to this disease., "In a much 'smaller number, the diagnosis of infantile, paralysis was evi dent by the weakness or paralysis wbich occurred as a complication of the generalizçd infectioni, The fact that paralysis developed indicated that the involved nerve celîs were eitber injured or destroyed. In those cases with injured nerve celis wbere the lat- ter were able to repair the damage they bad' suffered, the paralysis mx- proved ýor completely disappeared due to the prolier rest in bed, careful. pro- tection of the weakened muscles, and properly graduated exercises given b>' those éspecially trained ini this .work. These reconditioned muscles under por-, mal activity gave no evidence of' their former weakness. Howeveri witb pro- longed or strenuous exercise these' muscles have again sbown their weak-- ness. "lIt is fortunate that now polîomyeli- tscan be recognized before the paralysis develops. With any illness (especially in children) suspicious sign-s would be headache, fever, stomach and bowel upsets, and drowsiness. If in addition, wé find a painful and stiffened back, painful mnuscles, and a loss of reflexes the diagnosis of infantile paralysis becomes more evident. Furthei delay may resuit in paralysis.
