To this meeting were invited representatives from all departments of medicine interested in this subject. At the conclusion of the conference, during which time all of the pertinent facts of the present situation were presented and discussed, it was felt that, in fairness to the public, an official statement should be made to C P t . 1~% e kog These include the strict isolation of all mrsons ill with the disease and the quarantine of those who have been in immeâ€" bnidbtaindif® Creluticintemistndraeiyinnicain n i daresind audn idns aiticiediiet dancondiiieati ts i ie intelatips dn t e h en nenintie + t walle it . a oo onl Esc ind i ce e i. .. T set forth the facts exactly as they exist. To this end, a committee was appointed to prepare and issue an official statement, which follows: According to figures computed by the Department of Health, Ontario, to date, there are estimated to be 750 cases in Ontario, of which 285 have occurred in the City of Toronto. Of this number, 212 cases have been admitted to the Riverdale Isolation Hospital, only 54 of whom developed some degree of paralysis. There were 11 deaths in this groui. Statistics of a similar nature apply to the Hospital for Sick Children, which has received its cases not only from Toronto but from other parts of the province. When an outbreak of the disease occurs, healthy persons as well as those ill with the disease are found to harbour the virus in the secretions of the nose and throat. The discase is, thereâ€" fore, spread through the contect of persons one with another. While the number of cases reported in Toronto is greater than in any previous outbreak of this disease, and there is no reason to presume that the incidence rate is likely to decline within the next two or three weeks, it must be borne in mind that not 25% of these cases show any evidence whatever of paralysis. Furthermore, among those developing parailysis, the majority eventually will recover complete use of their paralysed limbs. It would appear, therefore, that while there is every reason for the public to view the ‘Frcsent situation with concern, there is no justification for undue alarm or hysterical behaviour. Poliomyelitis ("Infantile Paralysis") is a communicable discease. It is deiinitely known that it is caused by the entrance into the body of a minute form of life known as a virus. It is known also that this virus enters commonly through the upper part of the nasal tract. There is no evidence that the discase is conâ€" veyed by flies or domestic animals. Usually the virus occasions only a mild iliness but someâ€" times the virus enters the central nervous system, which may result in paralysis, The majority of adults are not susceptible to the disease.

It is believed that Lanion is conâ€" templating a run to Cuba with conâ€" trabrand â€" cargo destined for rebel forces. So far the coastguard have been unable to locate the yacht. _ It is believed to be anchored in one of ty Lanion Gunâ€"Runner Suspectedâ€" Coast Guards Combing Florida Coves. Academy of Medicine, Toronto, The Ontario Department of Health Presents a Statement by Control Measures Present Situation (POLIOMYELITIS) the numerous coves on the Florida For further revelations read "Ho > tage Heiress" by Davis Dresser, the first chapter of which will appear in next week‘s issue of the Review. WEATHER CLEAR â€" TRACK FAST Seventyâ€"two per cent of all fataiiâ€" ties in Ontario, according to the Deâ€" partment of Highways, occur when the weather is clear and the roads are dry; 70 per cent of all accidents happen when clear weather condiâ€" tions prevail, and 66 % when the roads are dry. The fact that most accidents occur in clear weather and on _ dry roads may seem surprising at first glance. ONTARIO In as much as it is not known who are or are not carriers of this disease, it is advisable to reduce to a minimum, contact with other people. In other words, keep out of crowds. As children are particularly susceptible, it is most important that they be kept as far as possible from mingling with other perâ€" C W 2 . & & & & F2 m Pm sons. For this reason, the opening of the schools of Toronto has been deferred and the Department of Health of the Proâ€" vince of Ontario has recommended toâ€"parents that they see to it that their children avoid attendance at theatres, playgrounds, bathing pools and beaches and other places oF armusement where children congrcgate. The Academy agrees with the proâ€" vincial and municikpal ealth authorities that the responsibility for the control of the activities of children is primarily the duty of the parents. ‘The Department of Health of Ontario has completed within its own organization plans whereby serum for the treatment of this disease is available in any part of the province upon the request of the attending physician. Experimental work with animals indicates that Poliomyelitis can be prevented by spraying the extreme uprer part of the inside of the nose with a harmless solution of zinc sul‘ghtte. ‘This was discovered during the past year. To date, its value in the prevention of Poliomyelitis in humans is not known. To be in any degree effective, the sg:ay must be applied high up inside the nose. This can only be done with a s})ecin.lly conâ€" structed atomizer and by a T‘hysician thoroughly familiar with this type of work. The application of this or any other spray by an ordinar{_ atomizer or to the lower part of the nose is quite useless. The possible value of the nasal spray P'opetly administered is being determined at the present time in Toronto, ‘The Council of the Academy of Medicine of Toronto endorses the attitude adopted byaze provincial Department of Health and the local Board of Health in respect to measures designed to control the present situation. We would respectâ€" fully suggest that the general lfml)lic will best serve its own interestsgg endeavoring to follow the advice which is being given by t{)ese health authorities. Aphay o How) It will prove less baffiing if you reâ€" member that speed too fast for conâ€" ditions is the chief cause of acciâ€" dents. : Most drivers have learned that they must slow down when weather . or road conditions are bad. What they have yet to learr is that a little less speed under all conditions is good driving practice.

So says the weather man when he dished out the frost the other morning, and the chilâ€" liness of the atmosphere brought a search for warmer undies. The heartbreak of finding a newly decorated nursery covered with sticky little fingerprints can hardly be equalâ€" led. The poets may write reams . Of copy about the thrill of the patter of little feet and tiny fingerprints _ on the wall, but poems do not remove the fingerprints. Washable wall paper may be obâ€" tained in a variety of designs suitable for children‘s rooms. One ambitious mother decorated her son‘s room herâ€" self. The lower third of the wall was enameled in a modern shade of green and the upper part was finished _ in pale green, and against this surface, balloons of red, blue, green and yelâ€" low were stencilled. On the door a trained seal. balancing a ball on his nose had been painted. When you decide to make a child‘s room the gay place it ought to be, be sure that your floor and wall cover ings are easily cleaned.

The very poor are better looked aftr today than they ever were. _ It is the man on the moderate income who is trying to buy his little home, educate his family, keep up his insurâ€" ance savings and trying to put by a little for the inevitable "rainy day" who finds the going hardest.
