The reason for this is not known, but apparently there is something in the rise of weather temperature that fosters the activity of the virus, which causes the disease, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical Society observes in a Health Talk. Fatigue, overexertion and chilling are factors in the development of poliomeylitis. Overcrowded pools and beaches should be avoided, but there is no reason why a child can't swim or play in the water, provided the stay in the water is not so long that the child will get chilled. It has been established that if the virus is present in the body, the chilling tends to loWer the body resistance'. Authorities agree that many persons harbor the virus of poliomyelitis. without developing the strong manifestations of the disease themselves, but they are unconscious agents in transmitting the disease. Actually the disease, in its early stages, is difficult to diagnose by the physician because of the absence, very frequently, of symptoms and morel often the development of symptoms that are similar to other conditions. The onset of the disease is rapid. The first stage is comparatively mild. Sore .throat, a "head cold." nausea and sometimes vomiting may be among early symptoms. There may be some fever, diarrhea and, conversely, constipation. There may be considerable pain, particularly in the muscles of the legs and arms. The appetite often disappears. Tremor or trembling or the hands and other p^ts of the body and pain and stiffness of the neck and hack are important early symptoms, all of which may occur in almost any combination. The virus causing poliomyelitis attacks nerve cells in the spinal cord which control movement of muscles. When the nerve cells are damaged or completely destroyed, the dependent muscle withers in proportion to the amount of nerve damage. If the damage to the nerve cells is slight, the results insofar as crippling are slight. Seriously affected nerve cells do not regrow. When this occurs, the paralysis is permanent. mScHKHKT FLADTDfeAlXK It is generally oooee4f*. -ta "polio" season that children should not be removed from their normal routine. This is also true of adults. In this day and age complete isolation cannot be achieved, and quarantine in poliomyelitis has not had the expected results. There are some instances of an entire family developing the disease, while in. others a single case in a large family has been reported. Parents should he alert to the slight symptoms of early poliomyelitis. A healthy youngster is not ordinarily listless. Watch for fever and fatigue. Then get the child to bed at ^tace and call your physician. Be suspicious during "polio" time, but don't get panic-stricken. Avoid crowds, chilling and fatigue, but otherwise try to lead' a routine life. \ LAWN MOWERS u "t- •* e Famed Jacobsen" fKZZ DEMONSTRATION LAWN MOWER SHARPENING USED POWER MOWERS HETTERMANN SERVICE PHONE JOHNSBURG 413-J Scientists Loeatt Examples Of Small Chlorophyll Units Some of the smallest units of the sun-powered factory system that manufactures plant food were photographed recently wider the electron microscope.! They were located in singlecelled green alga, an elementary type of plant life. The units appeared to be relatively round and the smallest of them were only about 10 molecules across. This work is part of a general study of protoplasmic materials and small particles at levels below, the ordinary microscope and just above the molecular level. In this region are also included fractions of chromosomes, which may Include genes; viruses and many unidentified particles within cyto« plasm. Many of these objects are made up of only a few molecules. Less is known about this teflon, although it is within the visual range of the electron microscope, than about that of the molecule, which hag never been seen.
