	Paralysis - LoveToKnow 1911
		Hemiplegia, or paralysis affecting one side of the body, is a frequent result of apoplexy; there is loss of motion of the tongue, face, trunk and extremities on the side of the body opposite the lesion in the brain.
		Infantile spastic paralysis, infantile diplegia, or as it is sometimes called Little's disease, is a birth palsy caused by injury from protracted labour, the use of forceps or other causes.
		The names infantile and essential paralysis were given before the true nature of the disease in the spinal cord was known; precisely the same affection may occasionally occur, however, in adults, and then it is termed adult spinal paralysis.

		Infantile paralysis is an infectious disease occurring mostly in summer and autumn, frequently seen in young children of one to five years old and characterized by fever, cough, sore throat and general muscular aching or accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea and consequently muscular flaccidity of extremities.

		Such infections as infantile paralysis should be impossible and have no dread for the public when the preventive and rapidly curative values of the nasal antisepticizing treatments are properly understood and used.
		In other words, wide-spread epidemics of such diseases as influenza, grippe, colds, etc., should not terrify the public when such simple means as herein described, can readily, easily and quickly control, check and prevent complications and deaths, and cure these wide-spread epidemic diseases which are principally respiratory infections entering through the nasal sinuses.
		The chronic stages of these infections should likewise be treated by the aid of the constant use of the antisepticizing treatments and if necessary, also one or more of the other methods of common foundationing.

		There are three immunologic types of poliomyelitis virus; exposure to one type produces immunity only to that type, so infection with the other types is still possible.
		The virus enters the body by way of the mouth, invades the bloodstream, and may be carried to the central nervous system, where it causes lesions of the gray matter of the spinal cord and brain.
		The disease is usually fatal if the nerve cells in the brain are attacked (bulbar poliomyelitis), causing paralysis of essential muscles, such as those controlling swallowing, heartbeat, and respiration.

	Excerpt from New Haven Dept. of Health, Monthly Bulletin September, 1916: Infantile Paralysis (part 3)
		In the previous Bulletin, I summarized the reported cases of this disease as of two types: the simple cord type of which there was no apparent contagion; and a more complex type, an acute infection, with symptoms and signs of encephalo-meningomyelitis.
		On the supposition that the abortive cases are from one-half to as numerous as cases actually showing paralysis, the reported cases of July show interesting figures and facts.
		The prognosis of other epidemics that the widespread paralysis among those of the drowsy type, even with diaphragmatic or intercostal paralysis, is not fatal would seem to hold good, as against the fatal alert type irrespective of treatment.
