PARALYSIS AFTER IN:PANTILE PARALYSIS.
AGOOD DEAL has been learned about infantile paralysis in recent
years, though we are still far from knowing bow to prevent the
spread of the di's-se. ` One tact learned is that the mortality of
the disease • is not high. In most epidemics Wino -tenths of the
patients escape with their, lives, Of those who escape with their lives about
one-half have no permanent peraly�si.s or wasting.
The degree' of paralyslss is worse soon after its onset than at any later
time. There is always some gain in muscular power' -after tine onset of the
di. ease. Formerly it was held that improvement was not possibleafter
two yearse Whatever improvement there was to be would come :in the
first two years. Efforts to improve the condition of paralyzed muscles
would be ineffective unless they were begun withina:two years of the onset
of the disease. The teaching now 3e .that these is nv time limit beyond
which ianroventent is impossiloie.
The dread of infantile paralysis is booed afore upon the paralysis and
wasting of muscles than, upon the death rate of the disease. In the great
majority of cases of shrinking of muscles the condition exists:Xecause of
neglect of after treatment. However, there is a considerable minority of
eases in which there is too much after treatment.
After infantile paralysis the muscles are weak Fria. easily fatigued.'
'" If an over -fatigued muscle is worked further it is liable to give out cam
;pletely''and permanently Some signs of muscle weakness which should.be
looked far.in mild cases .of infantile :paralysis are given by Thomas as
follows:- .
--1: Weakness' of 'the. beck muscleswhen the child is sitting. ' A ten-
dency of the spine to come, the book to bow, or a shoulder to droop is
often noticeable,
2. Drop foot.' A tendency of the toes. to drag and to turn in .or out
when sitting ,or lying.
3. Bending of the knee backward when standing.
4. Outward rotation of the thighs when lying down. A tendency
the toes and the knees to turn outward. -.
5. Weakness or draggerg of the leg atter play, or a long walk.
In a certain case of recovered -infantile paralysis about the Daily sign
heft is a tendency to drag a foo=t and wear out the toe of the shoe, noticeable
only after pity. d passive motion both of the paralyzed Exerciseeand zed a,nd the weakened
muscles must be airy carefully glvru. If the• muscles are over used they
are harmed. more than they are -helped. The authoritiesare agreed that
electricity is of no service, '

ROW TO CLEAN . FLOORS.. ' )
A correspondent wants to know the best method of clee.ntag floors,
and especially hospital floors. As the correspondent indicates in his
r” inetery, the answer depends on the floor and in some measure upon some
other circumstances to be noted presently.
An unvarnished wooden iioor should be swept as oi'ltan as.requiad
,aaatl washed with soap and water at longer intervals, Scrubbing rowgh'ens
the cur -face and splinters the wood, especially if strong lye soaps are used.
Tepid wator, light soap, and a rag will clean well enough for ordinary
scrubbings, while- lye soap and a brush at long intervals will not roughen.
the wood enough to make it difficult to keep clean..
Putnam, in her book on school- sanitation, advisee "sweeping with a `
Jirlr broom covered with,.a piece of cloth from an ingrain carpet. ' This
cloth should be moistened with a mixture of linseed oil, turpentine, and a
Lithe paraffin. She tells of a janitor who sweet satisfactorily with a hair
bioom in the woadon erose piece of whieh tifere was a small receptacle
which held a spoonful of kerosene, this dripping ori the hairs' of the broom.
The objection to sweeping after dusting ae floor with wet sawdust is
that fine splintersfloat up inthe dust. Sawdusl< evenly, in :prognated with
,oi't in which there is a little turpentne•. is better;•`
A 'varnished wooden .floor Should not, be scrubbed • Hornsby of the
Modern Hospital says "screbbitig kills varnish. Tepid water, light seep -
Suds, and a rag -Will, clean and not attack ,the surface.":
Vacuum cleaners are not satisfactory for bare floors. Linoleum shout•„ .
not be cleaned with a moist cloth or with a hair broom moistened with o i.
`The cracks in linoleum should be filled with a "hard filler" as often as tt;'•
'necessary. Cement, stone, and mosaic flooring should be cleaned with tep:ri
water and light soapsuds. From time to time' they should be scrubbed,
